Thanks again.
I made the table and added it to the article PLUS I added actual with each prediction.

I can see why Gartner made it impossible for me to find their older predictions on their web site! I had to get the info from EE Times!

For example, 03 Sept 2008 [Predicts $308B for 2009] Gartner said it now expects overall 2008 semiconductor revenue to be $285 billion, an increase of 4.2 percent over 2007. The firm had most recently projected chip revenue to be 4.6 percent for the year, reaching $287 billion. Gartner lowered its 2009 revenue projection to $308 billion, up 7.8 percent from 2008. The firm's earlier projection called for 2009 revenue to increase 7.9 percent to $309 billion.
(Story at EE Times) [2009 actual $218.5B]

Their 2007 prediction for 2009 was hysterical! Only missed by about 50% or $96B!
