Kaka, consider CPQ's comment regarding Europe/Africa: Compaq delivered strong revenue growth in all regions: North America grew 27 percent; Europe, Middle East, and Africa grew 8 percent (21 percent when adjusted for currency); Asia-Pacific grew 41 percent; Japan grew 52 percent; Latin America grew 28 percent; and Greater China grew 21 percent. Dell's showing in the same region comes in about the same, slightly higher when considering current comments regarding October sales. So, adjusted for currency, Dell's sales in the region, in total units shipped per ASP, should also show equitable growth.
