Interesting numbers - food for thought ! Computer Sales Continue To Grow SAN JOSE, Calif (AP) -- Despite a struggling global economy, personal computer sales continued to grow during the third quarter of 1998, according to two market research companies. The results, released Monday, show that more than 22.6 million personal computers -- including 9.5 million in the United States -- were shipped during the third quarter of 1998, an increase of 13.7 percent over the same period last year. Market data shows that although Compaq remains the number one vendor in the world, its growth in the United States slipped 8 percent to just 15.8 percent of the market. Meanwhile, Dell is growing rapidly, up 65 percent to take 14.1 percent of the U.S. market. Hmmm... annualized sales for Dell using 3Q as run-rate = 5.4 Mil Units vs CPQ at 6.0 Mil units, domestic only.
