<Cheap PCs don't draw new buyers...> The article is most
likely wrong. Speaking about "penetration", they did not
mention whatsoever whether the second-time buyer buys a
second or third PC for his household. Second, they did
not say how many of those 35% first-bought machines were
of around-$1000 class.

Therefore their methodics seems to be seriously flawed,
and their conclusions should be wrong.
Also, the world is apparently not limited to the U.S.

<What will it take to get those millions of homes who
have never purchased a PC to take the plunge?>
The answer is painfully apparent: the three factors are:
i) price, ii) price, and iii) computer education.
