I am surprised that the whisper number is between 42 to 46 as I looked up some of the websites. I thought it would be higher than the estimate.

It seems very unusual.

Maybe people don't have a lot of faith for GTW to beat estimate.

Unit sales had to be up significantly for sales to grow, right? For instance, if unit sales grew by 18% sales would be stagnant given a 15% decline in ASPs.

Increased sales is great -- it's finding the proper benchmark that's hard. In the comparable quarter last year is when they took the big writedown -- there were some troubles -- takes a little while to sort this stuff out.

Can you get me that source? I curious what components were in shortage.
