Chuzz, We are in agreement. When we look into the future we take todays number less future expecation and divide by today's number. however when we're talking about what already happened. We take the current number less past number and divide by the current number. This gives us the rate things have grown. So, when we talk about growth rates.. if you did $1B this quarter and did $800M the previous quarter your growth rate is: 1B-$800M/$1B=20% NOT $800-$1B/$800M which would yeild 25% growth. This is how DELL's number appear to be calculated when they discuss growth rates in their press releases. I guess I could be wrong since I briefed that data farily quickly but that's what I recall. Am I doing this wrong? OG
