>Are sales slowing or profits?

Revenues. Both DELL and CPQ cited weak Jan sales. CPQ and DELL are down over 25% from their recent highs. INTC has also fallen due to this.

If growth is slowing for PC's and chips, where will the new internet users come from?

>What percentage of existing PCs are already using the Internet?

The valuation of internet companies are not based on growth from existing pc users.

What % of the US still don't own a computer?

>I like Amazon, but I LOVE eBay! They're getting all my money, now.

The States are now starting to make noise about lost sales tax. Once they get their hands on this money, buying over the internet will lose some of its appeal.
