Message 8080747 >>True, it's not in the freefall of 1997, but we're still looking at 1-3% declines, on average, each month. That can be dealt with when growth in units is robust, but if that falls off......... We've been lucky with stellar growth rates in all sectors, but Asia is still hobbled, retail US sales are stuck around 15% growth, and now the commercial market, home to higher ASPs in the US, is lame.<< 1-3% asp declines lead to about a 24% (plus or minus a little) drop in asps. match that with a 15% unit growth rate and revs are negative to the tune of 12.5% (plus or minus a little). i'd bet this author would actually argue that revs are 1% positive when their own numbers say they aren't - not even close. ;-p
