Joe, World wide consumption of hi-tech is just at it's infancy. Exactly. You see unlike TV's where one is good for 15 years is properly maintained, PC's aren't like that. Very few people can put a 15 year old PC to good use. Add to this the fact that PCs are becoming more affordable and I think unit shippments will definitely increase. The total number of $$ going into box shipments may start to lelvel off, simple due to reduced pricing on PCs (I mean $500 vs. $3500 historically), but the unit shipments will continue to climb and peak in 2020 IMHO. At that time PCs will have a saturation much like TVs have now. Steve
