From semi.org:
The SEMI book-to-bill is a ratio of three-month moving averages of worldwide bookings and billings for North American-based semiconductor equipment manufacturers. Billings and bookings figures are in millions of U.S. dollars
| Billings | Bookings | Book-to-Bill | |
| Aug-08 | 1,064.50 | 866.8 | 0.81 |
| Sep-08 | 927.3 | 649.9 | 0.7 |
| Oct-08 | 871.4 | 839.7 | 0.96 |
| Nov-08 | 806.8 | 783.8 | 0.97 |
| December 2008 (final) | 672.4 | 579.1 | 0.86 |
| January 2009 (prelim.) | 592.2 | 285.6 | 0.48 |

Needless to say, these numbers are pretty damn bad. Keep in mind, its a rolling 3 month average. Bookings lead billings. Told ya there was too much memory spending.
