China, PC's and the Internet According to this article, in June there were 4 million Chinese using the Internet, through 1.5 million connected PC's. That's expected to grow by year end to about 6.5 million on the net connected through 2.4 million PC's. (An extrapolation, but should give an idea of the effect of the net on PC unit growth). nikkeibp.asiabiztech.com I recently read an article, (sorry, can't find it anymore), in which I think Legend claims to have about half the market, and that all Chinese manufacturers combined have the major share. As I recall, Legend states foreigners will have a difficult time competing in China because of the culture and business methods. And of course, price is a dominant factor in the purchase decision. Looks like the US share of the incremental 900K connected units in 2 nd half won't amount to more than a couple hundred Kunits at most. JMHO's
