Bell Microproducts CEO, W. Don Bell, April 1999 interview.
(at bellmicro.com )

excerpt:

"TWST: What are the most significant trends, developments,
and changes that you anticipate in your markets over the
next several years?

Mr. Bell: We expect to see continued consolidation both at
the customer level and the competitor level....

...So we will see continued consolidations. Today we are the
8th largest distributor. At this rate, in jest, if we just
stand in one place, sooner or later we'll become number
two or three...

...But we do see a reduction in the number of competitors
in the marketplace as we go forward, driven by supplier
consolidations and suppliers focusing their efforts on few
distributors..."
