Rick, Yes, it constitutes a boom because it's not a question of what percentage of SMT components were replaced but what percentage of devices (cell phones, tablet computers, etc) now have embedded components. We'll bet that the majority of cell phones made in the last year have some form of embedded passives and that in a few years we will be able to make a similar statement about certain other handheld devices.
