TI2 and all, a critique and summary of the Semiconductor Business News report. The report is... "Global chip sales up 33% in February from a year ago, but down slightly from January" Semiconductor Business News (04/06/00, 10:40:45 AM EDT) semibiznews.com The data is reported very poorly, some in $ and some in % and doesn't add up to 100%. Why can't they just show a table? Here's data from the report in tabular form: DRAM $ 23.1B 13.7% of the total of $168.7B non-volatile memory $ 7.1B is 4.2% of $ 168.7B micro components $ 56.9B is 33.7% of $ 168.7B memory $ 35.4B calculated from '21% of total' logic $ 28.5B calculated from '16.9% of total' ------------------------- Total $151B Doesn't add to $168.7B,the total reported by Dataquest for 1999. Financial reporting! Arghhh! Gottfried
