<<Thus I believe that sales for the next 9 months should
accelerate to a record setting level.

Note that because I expect so many older units to be replaced, I wouldn't be surprised

My thinking is that hardware and software spending will fall off a cliff as the end of 1999 approaches. Who would dare mess with the systems they have just spent 3 years trying to prepare for the year 2000. Maybe you can still add internet capacity or PCs to a network, but who is going to mess with their mainframes and databases. An important question for us storage guys is whether the PCs will, in fact, be added and whether its considered risky to to add disk arrays.
Just my uninformed opinion. Z
