Thanks a lot Roy, the numbers look great however a teensy bit more 
detail would really be appreciated. For instance :

>Figures for 1-3Q88 [1-3Q87]
>		Net sales	Operating income	Net income
>Computers/Video	296.3 [216.2]	44.3   [40.7]

Can you break this into two items, Computers and Video rather than
combined?

The other missing numbers would be ASP or average selling price
of the 520ST, 1040ST, Mega2, and Mega4 followed by the breakdown
of percentages for the computer sales. This would allow one to
calculate "units sold" for the first three quarters of 1988. 

If you know the "installed base" number for 1987 we would be 
completely happy. Thanks,
