Marc,
I think it is fair to assume that there are many fabs that will need
to upgrade their equipment, at some point, to stay competitive. One
way to do this and remain profitable is to purchase "used/refurbed"
equipment at reduced cost as other fabs go out of business. Again,
they must remain profitable to finance the upgrades, a real dilema
for them, I'm sure.
