("spending on PCs in the US will jump to $71.56 billion in 1999 compared to $67.9 billion expected this year" )

Isn't 'jump' a little strong for a 5.39% increase that probably only represents about a third of the standard deviation for the error distribution of these predictions? -g-

Earlie, Pay cheque???? Haven't had one of those since I worked in England. <G> Gotta watch those Czechs and balance beams.

I find it funny that when DQ finds the current environment lousy, they don't mention that but predict great things half a year out.

As far as the new cycle pushing impoverished corps to spend: didn't you see "Field of Dreams?" Build it and they will come. <G>
