"Furthermore, we posted record quarterly and annual revenue, reached a record average selling price and grew our bookings significantly quarter over quarter. This is a strong performance in any quarter, and is especially impressive with business spending on equipment and software falling 27.8%, the worst in a half century." "What led to this remarkable success in the fourth quarter and fiscal 2008, and what we believe will drive the Company in 2009, is our unique business strategy and great tactical execution.
