Dear Mr Snyder:

The trouble with statistics is they can say whatever the presenter wants them to say:

PC sales strong in 1Q
Research firms report double-digit sales growth; citing consumer demand
April 24, 2000: 4:22 p.m. ET

NEW YORK (CNNfn) - Personal computer sales during the first three months of 2000 continued to be strong, due in large part to an economic recovery in Asia and robust demand from consumers, according to two leading technology research firms.
Dataquest Inc., based in San Jose, Calif., and International Data Corp., based in Framingham, Mass., each released reports Monday indicating that PC manufacturers shipped roughly 30 million units worldwide during the first quarter of the year.
By Dataquest's count, that's a 15 percent year-over-year increase. IDC numbers the increase at 20 percent....

So, plod along softees. Uncle janet will take care of you!
