>> And yet, 10 years earlier, the PC component was more like 60 to 80%. So why wasn't that boom-bust even bigger?

I don't know what your point is. The debate was boom-bust cycles not how much. I'm saying when the industry grows 20-30% per year, you're going to have it. And when a product that makes up 60% of the market doesn't grow that fast, you aren't going to have that kind of growth.

Now, are you saying when GDP returns to 5-6% growth, the industry will (double, triple, quad,etc) that growth? Will the PC sector go back to 20% growth? Or will the PC sector decline to 20-30% ratios and be a lot less dependent? (which is my eventual vote)
