Any Updates regarding when the machines will be up ?

RTP Community,

I believe John is correct regarding the atmosphere leak remaining in 
the AG4100.  If anyone wishes to test the system, there is a box of 
Ti wafers on the table next to the system which you can use.

As for the AG4108, John is more optimistic than I am.  I'm not sure 
we have completely resolved the over temperature problems as it seems 
to come and go.  Please test the system before you commit critical 
wafers.  Unfortunately, I do not have any test wafers readily 
available for the system.

Regards,
Ed
