RE: 1998 Unit Sales Projections.

>> I'm just not really optimistic at the moment. I expect there to be no problem selling around 16 million drives this year, basically 33% growth over Q4 levels...I expect retail growth to slow to around 10-20% with OEMs to be very strong. I'm basing all this over Q4 levels, so the year-to-year comparisons will be much stronger. <<

I'm not sure that I understand what you're saying. Are you trying to say that the average retail Zip unit sales in 1998 will be 10-20% higher than Q4 97's numbers?

If that's what you're saying, we have almost exactly the same numbers. Q4 97 retail Zip units was about 2 million, so adding 10-20% and multiplying by 4 quarters gives 9-10 million retail Zip units for the year.

I'm projecting 9.5 million retail Zip units and 9 million OEM Zip units.
