NEW YORK, Jan 22 (Reuters) - The following are estimates by
market research firms Dataquest and IDC of personal computer
shipments for the fourth-quarter of 1999, compared with the
same quarter in 1998, both worldwide and in the U.S. market.
Dataquest, a unit of Gartner Group Inc. , estimated
in a survey to be published on Monday that the worldwide PC
industry grew 17.3 percent, while the U.S. PC market grew 14.7
percent, according to preliminary fourth-quarter statistics.
In a separate survey also to be released Monday,
International Data Corp. estimated worldwide PC factory
shipments grew 19 percent to 33.2 million units in the fourth
quarter versus the year-earlier quarter.

data for full 1999 year results in both the worldwide and U.S.
PC markets. The third and fourth tables contain IDC's
fourth-quarter data for the worldwide and and U.S. PC markets.
