>>>>>I thought that IDC was quoted in the article as well.<<<<< Yes, indeed, IDC was quoted in the article, and what did IDC say about Dell's ssssmokin' performance in China? Here it is: "But Dell's results for October through January show signs of moving up. For the first time, 1 percent of personal computers sold in China were Dell's, according to International Data Corp.'s preliminary findings for the last three months of 1998. And in January, Dell notched probably its strongest month so far. "Our take on it is that Dell is going to grow relatively quickly in China," said Dane Anderson, an analyst at Massachusetts-based IDC. "They had a relatively strong performance in the fourth quarter. I think they certainly will break into the Top 10." Wow. A whopping one percent of personal computers sold in China were Dell. Hey, BGR, this is what we call in the United States "chickenfeed." And the analyst thinks they will certainly break into the Top 10. Not a word about the sales data of the other members of the Top Ten. This is the best an Austin rag can say about King Michael of Dell? Yawn.
