I hope some of these buyers bought PMA. ====================================================================== PR NEWSWIRE) Large On-line Sales Expected in December Large On-line Sales Expected in December RESTON, Va., Dec. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Shoppers in the U.S. purchased a significant amount of computer products this Christmas, according to a recent on-line poll conducted by PC Data. Nearly 71 percent of those currently on- line purchased computer products as gifts, and the most frequently purchased products were PC games and educational software. In keeping with the trend toward falling prices, shoppers expect to spend relatively modest amounts for these products. In December, 47.4 percent of people surveyed said they expect to spend under $100, 39.4 percent between $100 and $500, and only 13 percent anticipate spending more than $500. Although 75 percent of survey respondents said they expect to purchase PC products from stores, nearly 40 percent plan to do some shopping for these products on-line. The survey of 700 on-line individuals also indicated that 54 percent purchased non-PC products through the Web during the holidays. Of those that purchased on-line, nearly half bought music and books, while more than 20 percent purchased clothing, toys and movies on-line. "Not surprisingly, individuals with a household income above $80,000 and those who have owned PCs for 6+ years were more likely to shop on-line," said PC Data president Ann Stephens, "but nearly every group was strongly represented in on-line shopping. Men, women, computer novices, and those with years of experience all took part in a very large way. This has become main- stream."
