dwight,hot numbers
idc now thinks that 1997 pc growth rates are going to be 14.2 % now after thinking they were going to be 18% weeks ago...
but, if it just goes at 14.2 % you have a monster qtr...
a record qtr maybe....

1996 70.9 million pcs

1997 1q 18.267
2q 18.924
3q 20.261
4q 23.516
------
total 80.968

So, at this adjusted rate cpq will blew the roof off.
I bet cpq will be backtracking and trying to slow sales down so they can have pc's to ship in 1q98<ggg>
