Robert: > the rate of decline is slowing, but it is still declining! It all depends on whether you see the glass as being only half full, or half empty. Hence here is how I (and apparently a lot of other investors) view it: In order to stop declining it must first slow down in its decline. Regards, Addi Jamshidi

Robert, there is simply no mystery whatsoever. The bookings are right there in the press release, plain as day. Yes, backlog is eroding, but the thing you want to watch is BOOKINGS.

This is classic politics, reducing the deficit is in fact improving the bottom line. It is scary to think political stuff is manifesting itself into the financial world. Next thing losing money in Asia will be like getting a BJ from Monica, Not a real loss legally and not really sex in the legal sense. I have a feeling that the sensation is still the same. I hope AMAT flies even higher, it has to be worth more than many of the internet stocks and 2005 is not far away.
