Re: Actually, lasers will be the leading edge for 10 years. Another 10 to 15 years for non-critical layers. Bob, I agree with you on that. But after 5 years, we really do not know what will be the next critical technology(There are a lot tools needed to make semi, any one can became limiting factor in the future). And DUV laser could be as common as the mercury bulb in the same time period. IMHO, it is fair to assume 5 year growth for Cymer laser. Don't you think? It is true paranoia can cause me to sell too early, but it can also save my skin. It cut in both ways. Thanks for remind me. By the way, does Cymer have any patent protection? derek
