Brian,

I remember someone from AMAT(I think!) in '97 predict the end of the cyclical pattern of the industry we are currently experiencing.

I believe it was near the end of 1995 that several industry executives were saying

"the only thing cyclical about this industry is the stock price".

Well, they were half right.

You said >In good times, predictions tend to be too
optimistic and during the darkest days of a downturn
the reverse is also true.

Thanks. I needed that reminder.
