MB: I appreciate the response and the source. I am working on ferreting out the prior few years Q4-Q1 units shipped numbers and will post them here when(if?) I can find them. As for business being the king, I believe the pendulum is swinging as we speak, back to consumer and expect seasonality to increase. I also noted your response to edamo regarding Direct sellers having only a 15% share after many years. I think it's a valid consideration that the internet has been a force in direct sales for only a couple of those years and the growth in internet sales is stunning. As the internet becomes pervasive, more and more people and businesses are going to become comfortable with "virtual" tire kicking. The economies of the internet for business, IMO, cannot be overstated. As internet sales become more and more interactive, consumers will also feel more comfortable making the purchases over the net, (particularly when the alternative is an over-eager sales clerk with limited computer/technical knowledge, trying to sell you the brand with the highest commission, after you've spent considerable time driving from store to store). Does this mean I'm no longer on your ignore button list anymore<gg>. Aloha.
