Sales were down slightly over the last quarter. But

Sales in units or in inflated dollars?


Inflated dollars? You can't be serious. It's listed in U.S. Dollars and it
is given in units.


You said "sales" and that's usually in dollars.
Then you compared it with "earlier in the decade" ...
after inflation?

Perhaps you can subscribe and provide us with an in depth monthly analysis.
You know explain how the seemingly good news is really bad. That sort of
thing. At the very least, it would be refreshing if you were to use actual
real life data.


Seemed like the "real world data" some posted were *projections*
for 2005 made in 2004 or for periods *before* the fourth quarter of
2005, which is what I commented on (from a news report) .....
