<<In 1999, Fox is forecasting unit growth of 25 percent to 174 million units and revenue growth of 21 percent to $30.3 billion. >> No wonder the drive companies have appreciated so much! Has anyone else seen such an aggressive forecast? I wonder if he's just parroting Dataquest or sticking his neck out with his own prediction? Can the industry handle this kind of unit growth without shortages developing, especially at the component level? <<Fox also recommended two component suppliers: Hutchinson Technology*, which has a dominant market share in suspension assemblies and is the leading developer of TSA;>> Would be interesting to know when Paul Fox gave his speech.
