DA

Those predictions are as bogus as they come. Write it down -- throw it in a file and pull it out in 2,000. They will be negative.

Enjoy ...

DA, PC revenues were already negative in 1998, so they can't "turn" negative in 1999. And, since IDC was predicting 17% revenue growth for 1998, we have to figure a best case of -13% in 1999, going on their past record of being at least 17% to the high side. <g> They will say anything in their forecasts, as long as it doesn't tick off the cos. who buy the reports.
