I'd bet it is. I've had two experiences with Gartner Group reports about projects I
was intimately connected with. All I can say is I'd love to be in their accounting

a typewriter and a dart board and still get better results.

"Most Financial Managers love the Gartner group for some reason, but WRT technology, I've never found them to be right. I think someone pointed out, using their TCO formula, your toaster costs you $4000 a year to own."

viable only as a DSLR and digital medium format vendor. they feel that it
will be irrelevant in the digital P&S market and the film market as being
irrelevant in general not too long from now for Japanese investors.
