To All, Re:From the Wired Article
"The market for removable data storage devices-used principally to shuttle project-work back and forth between PCs and workers-is forecast to rise to 2.4 million units, or $612 million this year , Porter's firm had forecast before Monday's announcement.

''Clearly, this is not going to happen,'' Porter said. ''It'll be more like two million units and closer to $400 million.''

In 1997, 1.8 million removable storage devices were shipped for $286 million, according to Disk/Trend. That was up from 960,000 units, or $210 million in 1996."

I think I'm missing something. Where is that "2.4 million units" for the year from? Are most drives recreational units and not counted as drives used principally to shuttle project-work back and forth..." or does the term units have some other meaning?
