Mario, try the site below. You can plot any currency against the US dollar. When you are at the site, set the base currency as foreign currency. The target currency is in US dollar. Or you can do in reverse. Remember: if US dollar gets stronger, you get less dollar converted from foreign currency. pacific.commerce.ubc.ca Have fun. Tom

In addition to the well informed posts in response to your question, there is another, possibly offsetting factor in the strong US currency as far as implications for ATML: while there is no question that selling overseas into a (relatively) weaker currency market results in (i) tougher marketing and (ii) (relatively) fewer dollars realized from a given amount of sales, the possible upside is that, to the extent that ATML sources components from any (relatively) weaker currency market, the cost of those components will be, in dollar terms, cheaper to ATML and should result, to that extent, in better gross margins.
