Leigh,
Hi!!

RE: NOT UP TO SNUFF. The uptick in PC sales also reflects the fact that many of the hundreds of millions of PCs running worldwide are just plain old: Dell Computer (DELL ) spokesman Bob Kaufman says the No. 1 PC maker believes more than 100 million PCs in the U.S. alone are at least three years old. Most of those machines, he adds, can't run the newest Windows software.

The education and government sectors also appear to be picking up. "K-12 schools are buying wireless networks," says Chris Rother, vice-president for the public sector arm of high-tech distributor CDW, which clocked a 31% increase in public-sector sales during the third quarter.

Wireless is just one of several wild cards -- niche markets that are helping boost PC sales overall.

Thanks...Had heard that wireless was picking up...

Best,Kemble
