Your SB is not the only one that has grown over the past 18 months. Others
have too, but as a whole, 1997 growth was down significantly, compared to
1996. Consider the total number of RP machines purchased by SBs last year,
compared to 1996 or 1995. The difference is dramatic. One reason is that
the market is changing, as Drew and Keith Nybakke pointed out.

Well put! This is a fast-changing industry and companies that do not
change with it will be left in the dust. RP machines, prices, and markets,
as well as RP service bureaus, will look a lot different in the future.
