Nigel, I don't remember seeing STM as a MTSN Strip customer before. Perhaps this is an indicator of a MTSN breakthrough with the European Chipmakers. If so, that would be very nice. ;-) While MTSN wasn't selling equipment during the period described in the WSJ story, they do claim that their equipment is cleaner than its competition. All the same, I'm not sure that NSM is any different from any of the chipmakers at that time. 20 years ago, the Boomers were still in their 20s feeling immortal, less was known about the long term effect of what we now call carcinogens; people just made the best decisions they could with the knowledge they had. Of course, anybody behaving that way today would be insanely negligent. Thanks for the stories, Ian.
