Gottfried, Here is the same data you posted in your Billings graph from 1977 to 2014, but just a different look at it. The overall table and chart is a very similar format to several of the postings each week. In this case, only the Yearly Billings is shown in chart form, but for information on the YoY change and percent change each year, the data is shown in the table. Over the years, the channel of Billings keeps rising. An 8 year "flat spot" shows up from 1995 to 2003(exception 2000), but it doesn't materially affect the long term rising channel. It just goes to show how important semiconductors are to the world's economy. The cost per bit keeps coming down, but there is no slowing the rising overall growth in Billings.
