I'm starting to enjoy this. (g)

You are 100% accurate about the negative PC revs. for 1998. As you note, it is a struggle to get people to recognize this fact. It has been even more of a struggle to get them to recognize the massive implications of this rather historic event and even tougher to get them to be concerned about it. The good news is that the press seems to be awakening, at least here and there. (g)

As you suggest, the rascals do have a number of ways to mask the problem. I love the way they all now throw their routers and servers into their "unit sales" and also into the "average selling price" equation. Boosts both numbers up rather nicely. Of course one has to read the fine print to realize what is now included in the numbers. (g)

Best, Earlie
