CPQ still on top. The second line may be true,,, but frustrating too.. Staff Writer, CNET News.com April 25, 1999, 9:00 p.m. PT Compaq Computer remains king of the heap when it comes to PC sales, but its closest rivals are rapidly bridging the gap. Compaq earned top rank among PC manufacturers in U.S. sales for the first quarter of 1999, selling 15.7 percent of the 8 million systems shipped, according to market research firm Dataquest. Worldwide, Compaq garnered a 13.4 percent share, Dataquest said. Nonetheless, Compaq lost 2.1 percent of its domestic share compared to year-ago figures, while archrival Dell gained 3.2 percent, rising from 11.4 to 14.3 percent. The rest of the top five posted gains as well. No. 3 Gateway went from 8.1 percent to 9.4 percent, No. 4 Hewlett-Packard went from 7.4 percent to 8.5 percent, and No. 5 IBM climbed to 8.0 from 7.6, Dataquest said in a report to be released tomorrow. All but HP saw growth worldwide.
