Anybody home?...Any thoughts on the latest weakness in TER...with pincounts,speeds,and designs all changing rapidly these days it seems the ATE market should be somewhat shielded from equipment sales slumps as unit sales drive this market even though ASPs are lower the newer,faster, and more complex devices will be the only way to profitability now and in the future..we are seeing that with the new BX440 bus, SOC devices, and all the new memory devices, etc...they all need new equipment on the back end testing stage...Maybe the weakness in the YEN is giving ADVANTEST an advantage?..Infrastructure should be coming out with some info in their May letter on TER ...
