Actually, you typed:
>> 18,000 million modems sold in '95 w/w... I don't recall the source
>>right now, but have it somewhere in this mess..

Now, I know I'm a bear of very little brain, but I thought that in the USA a thousand million (ie 1,000 million) was a billion ?
[In the UK it used to be a milliard, but that is obselete]

So what did you mean by the 18,000 ?
Is that the same as 18 ?
If YES - please can we discuss business ;)
If NO, please look embarrassed
