Moonray: No LSI is going to start raising Chickens. Forget chips, they're doing chicks (baby chickens). They need cash cow to lessen the effect of the depreciation charges. So while the market continues to soar like a eagle, maybe one day we'll stop feeling like beached whales. The rain in Spain is crimping our game.

more PC demand stuff ---- Reuters SAN FRANCISCO (March 10) - Personal computers were in almost half of all U.S. homes last year, according to preliminary data on PC penetration released by market research firm Computer Intelligence. PC penetration jumped to 45 percent of U.S. households in 1997, up from 40.2 percent penetration in 1996, Computer Intelligence reported. ''I expect penetration to continue to climb and surpass 50 percent by the year 2000,'' David Tremblay, senior analyst at Computer Intelligence, said in a statement. ''Some have said that the consumer PC market is dead or dying .... Our market data shows that just isn't the case.'' The La Jolla, Calif.-based market researcher said the industry added over 5 million new PC-owning households in 1997 in the United States. The study also showed PC ownership is linked to education and high income levels. Nearly 80 percent of high-level annual income ($100,000 and above) households have a PC, compared with data showing only about one-quarter of households with annual income under $30,000 have a PC. U.S. households with some college education are much more likely to have PCs, with ownership at 55 percent. The preliminary findings are from Computer Intelligence's 1998 Consumer Technology Index study, which surveyed 50,000 U.S. households. Final results will be released in May. Computer Intelligence is owned by computer publishing giant Ziff Davis. REUTERS Reut18:32 03-09-98 Copyright 1998 Reuters Limited. All rights reserved.
