Jeff,
Thanks for sharing your well researched knowledge with all of us.
This goes to all the others who have contributed while others laughed.
I would like to discuss the future growth potential in the Pacific.

>>Geographical
US. 57% of revenue - extremely strong
Europe - 25%
Pacific - 18%
US rev grew 32% year over year, 48% sequentially
Europe down 3% in US dollars, up 3% in local currencies year-over-year. 21%
sequential growth in US dollars, 23% in local dollars. Europe should be emerging from
recession. Business has been tough for the past year.
Pacific - Grew 20% in US dollars, 25% in local currencies year over year.
Sequentially, down 5% in US $, 7% in local currencies reflecting buying pattern of
Japanese govt.<<

Was the recent growth fueled by the need to catch up on internet commerce and related
stuff, or was this simply due to the recent lowering of the dollar vs. the yen (135 to 115?)
Or is it because the Japanese typically buy more at this time of the year (semi-quote of someones'
past remark here).

Just wanting to gain a bit of knowledge,

Jerry
