Below is shown the BtB resulting from the Bookings and Billings data given in the previous post. Usually, the BtB for the first 3 months of the year are positive since 1995 with the exception of 1998. Even though the first 3 months of 1998 showed BtB numbers less than 1, the BtB numbers for 2001 are even less - much less! It remains to be seen what happens next month, but after such a dismal performance, it seems a strong rebound could occur.
