Re: The correct volume numbers for 0997 John, yes, yours are the correct numbers for 09/97. I checked my notes again: Blair did say "about 6.3m" units were shipped through 09/97. I do apologize. An error is an error and I'm glad you pointed it out. I should have been more careful when I posted it here. Going from there, I called Blair again today and asked about seasonality in the business: He said that under normal circumstances, the Dec. qtr is the strongest, March and June are about equal, and the Sept. qtr. is the weakest of the 4. "But we are not in normal circumstances now", he said. Before I post anything wrong again here, I'll leave it at that for now. I have more notes, I just want to check them tomorrow. Please excuse, folks, Thomas
