in fact this is not true about amat in any case as they have simply covered opperating loses by taking agressive charges, and pushing contracts into the last month of each q, and recognizing rev's earlier than they otherwise would. I think that NVLs is probably the only decent sized semi-equip making $$$$ on a opperating basis, and not for very much longer

Waaaayyy OT/OT. Re: "And KIM that AMAT is still making $$ on an operating basis, something no other front end company can lay claim to." And your reply of: "Not true. Both KLAC and NVLS can make this claim." This points out one of probably 100 times some poster(s) don't bother acquiring the facts before posting their hype. It's like the old story... if I make a mistake once, it's shame on me. If twice, it's much worse. But on the third time, it's just the end of tolerance, and this is as it should be! It's gotten where some posters should be just categorized as "hypers"... Not good. I'm really surprised someone hasn't beat me to saying this. <End of rant.>
