Holy Mackerel, those MSFT results are astounding! As for Teradyne, the really BIG story is the bookings: they are up 51 per cent from the previous quarter (371 million vs 245 million). Since back end companies are reputed to be leading indicators for this industry, this bodes well for the future. I wonder how the "flat is a disaster" crowd likes them apples? <g>
