Herschel, Thanks for your thoughtful response re the maskmakers. I am still not optimistic in the near term re CRPB, unfortunately. As you point out, they are dependent on chip volume. Although I am not especially well-informed on the subject, I believe that chip volumes are predicted to be flat at best, which would not augur well for CRPB. (You've no doubt read about Korean and Taiwanese foundries taking furloughs, etc). Until some upturn arrives, or can at least be foreseen with some degree of certainty, I'm afraid CRPB will be "dead money". Good luck, Len
