Jim,>>>I don't know how many "very few" is but my point is that as a % of total income a Pentium III machine in China is very very high.<<< As a %, very few Chinese will be buying a house, condo, co-op, vacation home, automobile (new or used), go on vaction where they need to fly or stay at a hotel, sending kids to private schools, pay tuition for college, buy designer clothing, and/or purchase a second or third car. As a % of total income, however, the Chinese family will spend a lot more of their income for a Pentium III than the average US home. What is more important is that on a unit basis they will buy more PIII's than English, Italian, French, Dutch, or Irish citizens - and the differential will increase dramatically over time. The gap between US and Chinese PC adoption rates for the home will narrower. Any doubts? Mary

Jim, Re: Have you ever been to China Gary? <G> I have been back to China(where I am now) for about a month. >Actually I have a great respect for the Chinese culture and >it kind of torques me when some of the Intel posters started >making fun of the chinese government spying on Pentium III >users. Chinese culture is very different from the current Chinese government. Even Chinese make fun of the Chinese government. >Gary, I don't know how many "very few" is but my point is >that as a % of total income a Pentium III machine in China >is very very high. As a % of total income, even MediaGX is very very high. So you really have no clue(not even a wild guess) on how many PIII will be sell. Gary
