''Given the seasonal factors that traditionally affect our first quarter, I am very encouraged by our performance,'' said Digital Chairman Robert B. Palmer. ''We put more muscle and stronger focus behind our sales and marketing efforts with positive results. ''We are showing continuous improvement as we successfully position Digital as the company that customers turn to when they require enterprise solutions to compete and win in a networked world,'' Palmer said. During the quarter the company experienced very solid growth in its server offerings. Windows NT server growth was driven by Intel-based servers which grew in excess of 140 percent over the comparable quarter last year.
