And Randy Bane, of course, needs no introduction to anybody relative to Applied Materials. So, guys, thanks so much for joining us this afternoon, we really appreciate you coming. We're going to keep the conversation focused on the solar side of the business today so, Mark, I'd just maybe start off with you. I don't think there's a lot of people that aren't aware of what you guys are up to in solar, but maybe you could just give us a little bit of an overview of your entry into the business, where you're playing, and get us to speed a little bit on the concepts at this point and then we can get into some more of the details. ... 2/27/2008 2:13:00 AMApplied Materials54.0000FinalApplied Materials at Goldman Sachs Technology Symposium TranscriptAMAT2:40pm PTTranscriptT1781130Credit & Investment ResearchThomson Street Eventshttp://www.alacrastore.com/storecontent/ccbn/T1752485ccbn/T1752485norm... - Piper Jaffray - Moderator, Analyst Good morning.
