<<Six months from now, I expect that Asian iMac sales will exceed
US sales. Does anyone know if Asia uses cable? I expect that most
iMac sales in Asia will go to consumers buying a machine to sit in
the corner of a cramped living environment. Without cable modems, the
ethernet port is a useless extra expense.>>
Pravin, I don't know what the heck you are talking about. Have you
been to any following countries in Asia before? All you have in US can be
found in Asia. In terms of living standard, I think Asia
countries, such as Japan, Hong Kong, Singorpore, Taiwan and S. Korea,
are not far behind US, some even exceed western countries. Please
don't mis-judge based on your angle derived from biased media. Go
to find out yourself if there is a chance. I agree your assessment
on Asia's market in the future, particularly mass production for
iMac or others. I think Apple needs Asia countries other than
Singorpore to help produce more machines with lower costs if Apple
has bigger market share in PC industry in the future. If Apple
administration has the similar thought you have, then there exists
little hope to gain more market share.
