Ramsey, How do some of these companies manage to stay in business with such huge losses? Why stay in business to lose money, seems like it would be better used in more profitable endeavors. Hope they are profitable enough to last until 2002, but they may be too late into the "game" as they will likely face stiff competition from earlier 300mm DRAM fabs slated to come on line in 2001 in Taiwan. Looks like the the logic business will soon become as non-profitable as the DRAM biz due to so many companies entering into the market. BB
