BSG: Some "goose-down" in evidence. Reduced PC prices increase the odds that sales will improve, but the burgeoning economic problems lean against significant sales increases. Why in heaven's name would a Chinese family buy a top line PC for internet work? This is simply dreaming. They are more likely to buy at the bottom of the spectrum (as is the case world-wide) and they have the added impetus (as you accurately point out), which derives from a PC price tag that is a huge fraction of annual income. Incidentally, that 4.0 million PC sales figure doesn't jibe with data we have looked at. I'll comment on this after a check or two. Our Mr. Yu expects the P3 to sell well based on the past solid sales record of its predecessor. Perhaps someone should tell him that - INTC is no longer a monopoly and that - There are a large number of less expensive chips available that will handle China's internet needs. Best, Earlie
