Kirk and all, I e-mailed the SJMN reporter whose story on Saturday said "First decline in 16 years predicted for worldwide sales" [of semiconductors]. She replied... Hi the story said the first decline in UNIT shipments, which is different than revenues, revenues declined in both 96 and 98 as the chart showed but actual UNIT shipments have not declined since 1985, according to In-Stat.< So, technically she is correct even though her sub-headline created the wrong impression. Most people will associate "sales" with dollar amounts, not units. Gottfried
