Debra: <<Is this a different book-to-bill than previously announced?>> Yes, this is the industry book to bill from November. But AMAT had announced their own book to bill in October (I believe). As I recall, it was 1.02, which is a lot better than the industry even in November (a month later). My point is that why did this analyst raise estimates for AMAT now, and not in October when they told the world they were on the come back. A little manipulation may be? Never!!!! Right?<<GGGG>> Regards, Jaime
