<<The world bought 92.2 million PCs in 1998, the Gartner Group estimated, spending $158.7
billion. By 2002, the value of the worldwide PC market will grow to $253.7 billion, as
makers ship 158.2 million machines to customers primarily in the United States and
Europe.
In 1998, the United States and Europe devoured 63 percent of the world's PC production,
Gartner analysts said. >>
From a Gartner Group report. Makes no sense to me that the ave PC price will drop only from $1,720 to $1,600 over the next four years or that cheap PCs wiould not ignite sales in the rest of the world. Does anyone know whether very cheap machines are generally available outside the US? I would expect it to take a while but when it happens....
