MKL,

<<This new forecast shows volume and revenue 4% in 1998, 7% in 1999, and 9% in 2000 >>

I havent seen this forecast but I have also never seen IDC or anyone amalgamate units/revenues into a single growth number. Could you amplify on your number? Not that I dispute it, just havent seen it stated that way.

Thanks,
best,
Stitch

" Such a drastic change in only 4 months!"
Yes, it is. And in four more months (or perhaps 6 more, or 8 more), there will be another drastic change. No offense to IDC, but their projections are just that, and aren't really worth that much. Sometimes they're right, sometimes they're wrong. And in this ever changing sector, they can drastically wrong, either up or down.
