Carl, Thanks for pointing that out. I thought something didn't square when I made that assumption. I've heard the software is great on the new litho tool, it may make someone happy if it ever sells. I'll be more careful to get my facts straight next time. Rgds, D

Carl, <<Utek has not yet sold any reduction systems to the DD market and the ISI acquisition is almost a year old.>> This is important, but from what I understand not a whole lot of semi and DD equipment has been sold in the last year. I think this could be because of a downturn in the industry. I'm sure you must have read about it somewhere. And I don't think it would be reasonable to blame this industry-wide problem entirely on UTEK. Also, as far as I know this thread does not subject well developed opinions (or even positive comments) to disciplinary action. If you try it and are not satisfied, you are more than welcome to continue in your old ways. Rgds, D
