>>In the NAS market, EMC Celerra systems revenue grew sequentially at an industry-leading rate of 40% <<

I'm always cautious concerning statements about some company being "fastest growing". As a math person, I'm sure you know the reason - If you sell a million of product X one year and two million the next your sales have increased 100%. If I sell 100 units of product X the first year and 300 units in year two, then my sales have increased 200% and I can tout my company as "fastest growing". Of course, you increased your sales by a million units and I increased mine by just 200.

So the question here is: what are the relevant unit sales (or dollar sales) numbers. Perhaps if you can find that, the sense behind EMS's statement will be revealed.

PS and OT: In an effort to curtail the thread bloat how about if we all agree not to make posts that simply say ROTFLMAO. I don't think such posts add any value and besides isn't such activity (ROTF) disrespectful to carpets?
