The slide could be due to the news below....... Shipments of network computers, low-cost devices that draw their computing power from networks, were less than expected in 1997 and probably will not be "significant" at all this decade, an influential market reseacher said. Shipments of the devices tallied just 144,040 units in 1997, less than previously anticipated, according to a report by Dataquest. Shipments of network computers will rise only to 482,196 units in 1998. This is a tiny fraction compared with 90 million personal computers, or PCs, shiped in 1997. NCs drew a lot of attention in 1995 and 1996 as promising, low-cost alternatives to full-blown PCs. Companies like ORACLE CORP, SUN MICROSYSTEMS INC and IBM set out to design or build these machines.
