On PC's and IC's and world demand. First I would like to thank the contributors who have provided the links etc. My own personal circumstance is that I use a PC bought in April 2001, and I run win XP on it. I have no reason to upgrade it unless I want it's gaming performance improved. Hardly a priority item right now. We have a need for a further two (possibly three)PC's or laptops in the pearly household. Whether they get bought or not depends on a number of factors. We don't buy cell phones here, perfectly good ones are given to us. Yesterday I was talking to a security guard I know who wanted to buy a PC, he has never used a computer before. I told him my local boxmaker makes them for under £500. Far too much... security guards are not paid much. I told him he could get a perfectly good second hand PC, and run win 98 on it for £50, in fact with a little smooth talking he could get one for free. Plenty around for the asking. So, do corporations need to upgrade their PC's and are they making good profits these days? My answer to both those questions is NO. Do lower income families have to buy new PC's and can they afford them. My answer to both those questions is NO. Ya see, people in Europe and the USA are paid too much already.. Message 19298019 So we are going to see global shipments of PC's at 150 million units this year.. Message 19272433 And we are going to make 100 billion IC's... Message 19282407 see link icinsights.com Well, my only comment is that is one sales job that needs doing, I am sure the sales guys will do their best. Message 19289142
