Well, that's a total of nearly 100 million drives by 2002 -- and I think 30 to 40 discs per drive is a more reasonable estimate of the eventual usage (multiple copies of photo/audio/video files for friends and relatives, etc.). So, maybe 3 billion discs by 2005, or an average of maybe 600 million discs per year. At a buck a disc factory price and 0.01 royalty, that is an average of 6 million per year to the bottom line. All of this very rough and FWIW, of course.
