Paul - No, Michael is closer to the mark, commercial sales are about 5 times consumer sales in terms of revenue and about 3 times in terms of units, and only last year the revenue number for consumer was about 1/10 of commercial revenue. Commercial revenue has dropped somewhat as a result of falling ASPs and that will continue in '99. This discussion is 'desktop only'. definitions of 'consumer' and 'commercial' are also subject to interpretation and can affect the analysis, but most put machines designed for home use and sold individually at retail as 'consumer' machines.
