Faux Doo Two men were traveling by camel across and exceptionally hot desert. A camel refused to go any further and the rider asked " What is wrong here"?. The other rider replied," Its merely a case of vapor lock" Stepping off his own mount, he gave the other camel a swift kick in the stomach, whereupon the camel let out a loud(belch?) after which all was well. All will be well with Dell too. Sig

here is the data... and the news article... >>PC Sales Jump by: hlpinout 46890 of 46896 NEW YORK, Dec. 21 (UPI) -- Cash thrifty consumers, spurred by lower prices, have gone on a buying binge of personal computers, according to Reston, Va.-based PC Data. The group says retail store unit sales of Windows-based PCs are up 31.7 percent from the same period last year while PC average prices, before rebates and without monitors, have declined to a new low of $992, which is the first time prices have fallen below $1,000. The average price is 26 percent below the $1,340 shoppers were asked to pay a year ago. ''While aggressive competition between retailers, OEMs and component suppliers as well as the holiday seasonal rush helped spur this decline, '' said Stephen Baker PC Data's senior hardware analyst, ''the most prominent culprit was the rise of sub-$800 computers.'' Sub-$800 computers accounted for 33 percent of sales. On a year-over- year basis, unit sales of sub-$800 computers have generated more than 11 times the volumes of a year ago. PC Data says Compaq was once again the leader in the retail marketplace with 27.3 percent of unit sales. Packard Bell-NEC was number two with almost 22 percent of retail unit sales. PC Data is a leading source of software and hardware sales information. --- << 1.317 * .74 = .975. stated another way, pc revenues were negative 2.5%. oh, and this assumes 31.7% growth. idc says 13%. either way... contraction - not growth! now, will chuzz admit his error?
