RE: With an emerging and ever growing middle-class and a large manufacturing industry, China almost bridges the gap between the two country types Mr. Reich describes. Therefore, it should follow that e-commerce on the internet may end up being the next large selling tool in China because e-commerce bridges the gap between consumers and manufacturers in a convenient and innovative fashion. If the numbers of increased computer sales, internet popularity and the increased demand for major software products in Mandarin and Cantonese are correct, China is moving towards becoming a powerhouse of computer users and more importantly consumers of major goods manufactured the world over. Mohan, Hi!!! MY FIVE YEAR DREAM...some guy wrote me and upped it to ten! Visualize the growth of technology in China....double your dreams of how fast it materializes...I don't believe anyone is close....Predictions are made in this country with far more resources to gauge...IMO China will gobble up technology at a rate far in excess of any estimation...Virtually doubled my position in DELL in early 97 based totally on this "hunch"...turns out this has kept me on the ground and off ladders...of course DELL did quite well without this sector being the focal point of growth....I have "some info".. :o)....mainly from you Mohan...Thanks...that leads me to strongly believe DELL will very soon be growing in my portfolio with CHINA as a major reason.. "THE TELEPHONE LINES OF THE LAST TEN YEARS WILL BECOME THE PC LINES OF THE NEXT TEN YEARS" :o) Best, Kemble
