Skeeter- Got a couple seconds here at the end of night... <Chuzz can't even get his math right> When did this occur? Show me an example please.....I do seem to recall your data sources being a whopping one (or two or three) retail outlets.....SB- Believe or not, a whole lot of sales do not go thru those 1,2,3 retail chains that you like to quote (as your market data).....in fact, very few sales go thru those 1,2,3 retail outlets ..so your samples are inherently statistically challenged.. <25%, 26%> Show me the last quarter in which Dell grew ANYTHING in the 20's (y-o-y)...This quarter, you won't even see anything in the 30's...So, start your analogy from 40's...and we will go from there....(well, we won't go very far..because then your argument breaks down rather quickly).. Man, if my eyesight isn't good, then you need to change your name to Stevie Wonder (or Jose Feliciano, if you Latin)...<g>
