Mike; <<part of the reason is the cos are expert at finding one bright spot and spinning it like mad and the investors only read the headlines anyway. <G>>>

Not only cos positively span their news, even media helped them. The following are the two headlines. One is from Reuters and the other is from IDC.

"Workstation shipments rise 22 pct in '98" --from Reuters

"Strong Unit Growth in Workstation Market in

--from IDC press release.
