Peter, No, IDC is trying to avoid making that connection. Most estimates I have are for ASPs being down from 20-30% last year. I feel that they were even larger drops in server and workstation prices, but the exact numbers are not in. My own guess is that we came in at the high end of the range, as the only reason anyone sold a box in December was lower price. But, you also have to wonder how you factor in a free printer and monitor to your ASP. I don't have an answer to that one. BTW, I thought they were claiming 15% unit growth? MB
