<<Well don't be so partial to IBM>>

I don't believe I said I was.

<<they didn't exactly come out and say that they lost a billion dollars in their PC biz either,it wasn't in the fiancials some reporter had to dig up the SEC filings to find this out recently is what I heard>>

IBM followed the appropriate SFAS requirement for this year and disclosed on p 80 of their annual report (not positive on the page, my memory isn't completely photographic and gets worse with age). There was no "digging" required, so if you heard that, you were misinformed.

As for Dell, can you tell me operating profit in most recent fiscal year from Asia/Pacific region? Thanks.

It was in the annual report, I read it in mine.

Mohan, re: <Dell China's projection is to reach $1 billion in sales in couple of three years forget the exact year,2002 or 3 or something like that.>

I think you just made my point.

So in two to three years Dell expects to sell what, 1 million $1000 PC's, or maybe 2 million $500 PC's into China?

And to a population of 1 billion people?
