Maybe I should state the obvious, since you don't have the faintest
notion of what I said up there. Those figures are SALES IN MILLIONS
OF DOLLARS not PC's! That means almost 60 BILLION dollars vs. 4 BILLION
dollars. What I said up there has nothing to do with PC's.

By the way, if anyone has later sales figures, please post.

Sorry, I promised not to post again on this subject.
