Anybody notice CYMI is # 15 on the "Hot Subjects" list. I too hope we move lower, IMO it's a no-brainer in the TEEN'S.

Akins also justified the expansion/capacity by stating that they can actually build 1000 a year while their competition can not. Twice he brought up the fact that it is one thing to build a working laser and just as hard a feat to manufacture that product in quantity. This along with their service network in place and planned will set them apart from the competition when the market regains its momentum. Their plan is to keep the momentum up and stay way ahead of the competition.

On laser performance he mentioned that the cost of ownership is different at different chipmakers. Some run it better that others. He also brought up the fact that it is one thing to run the laser in a lab and another to run it in the field (I believe that this was in a previous conference call regarding the claims of a rival laser manufacter's specifications).
