Wednesday November 15, 3:01 am Eastern Time Japan PC server shipments rise, NEC share shaved TOKYO, Nov 15 (Reuters) - Japan's domestic shipments of personal computer (PC) servers rose 18.9 percent in the six months to September 30, with non-Japanese firms such as Dell Computer Corp (NasdaqNM:DELL - news) and Compaq Computer Corp (NYSE:CPQ - news) posting strong gains. Figures released by the Multimedia Research Institute on Wednesday showed half-year shipments of 119,000 PC servers, which act as gateways for other PCs accessing the Internet and allow them to share functions such as data retrieval and printing. The total value of the shipments was 105 billion yen ($970.3 million) and Multimedia Research forecast growth would continue at the same pace in the second half of the business year to March 31. NEC Corp , Japan's biggest manufacturer of PC servers, saw its share of the market fall to 27.4 percent in the April-September half-year from 30.5 percent in the same period in 1999. Fujitsu Ltd kept its second-place standing, giving up a tenth of a percentage point with a 17 percent market share. Compaq and Dell both rose to nab 15.3 percent and 5.8 percent of the market respectively. A similar report by International Data Corp (IDC) a month ago showed similar gains. Total PC server shipments for the business year were expected to reach 280,000 units, for a gain of 28 percent year-on-year. Following is a breakdown of major manufacturers' domestic shipments of PC servers.

NM is an interesting case in that it is being overlooked due to the turmoil in Florida. Interestingly, there are also some voter lawsuits taking place in Wisconsin and Iowa - though it's anybody's guess as to what the heck is going to happen there. I believe that the counts in those states will wind up standing and the lawsuits will be tossed out. Harris' question is the right one. What evidence is there for the need for a hand count? Basically, the hand count completed in Volusia proved that nothing took place and the original count was essentially correct (a few extra votes for Gore). Similar counts in particular precincts of PB have proven the same. The Dems have basically realized that the butterfly ballot question is meaningless and without merit. Both sides readily admit no fraud has taken place. Now it's just a question of counting.... I gotta believe that if it's an issue of hanging chad, the differential will swing mildly to Gore...but that as much chad is hanging for Bush.
