..And they said it couldn't be done,sheeesh! Schmoes all I tell ya.<g> Mark: Great little find,thanks for taking the time to post this as I think this is a very important piece of information for Dell investors and potential investors alike. Noteworthy. The greatest gains among competitors in 1998 were made by Legend and Dell with annual unit shipment increases of 73.4% and 45.9%, respectively. Legend's growth was fueled by its dominance in the Chinese PC market which accounted for 37.5% of the regional market in 1998. Dell's gains were distributed throughout the region as the direct model gained acceptance in many Asian markets. Results from the fourth quarter will help set the competitive environment for the PC market in 1999, according to IDC. In fourth-quarter 1998, IBM replaced Compaq as the leading regional vendor while Legend planted itself firmly as the region's third largest vendor, pushing Hewlett- Packard to the fourth-place position. Legend and Dell continued to lead the market in growth terms, but Apple also produced solid growth for the second straight quarter due largely to the success of its iMac product line.
