RE: ....Kitty Fok, IDC Asia-Pacific's research manager, said there is reason for guarded optimism for the year ahead.
"If market conditions in China, India and Australia remain healthy, the regional PC market should generate solid gains in 1999, producing the highest annual shipment totals ever for the regional market," she said in a statement.
Growth figures among the different PC vendors were also varied, IDC said. Compaq Computer Corp.'s unit sales were down by 8.5% and Acer Group's down by 19.3%, even as Dell Computer Corp. saw sales climb by 45.9%, Hewlett-Packard Co. by 17.1% and IBM by 3.3%.
