PC sales to grow again
The skies above are clear again
Let us sing a song of cheer again
PC sales to grow again!

What everyone seems to forget is that most businesses have been sitting on their hands for a LONG time. I work at one that still has well more than 20% of the company still running on it.

There is going to be a MASSIVE flood of PC purchases in the first 6 months of next year and it is not from Joe 6-pack

By switching to a 'new way of counting', Gartner had to MASSIVELY DOWNSIZE all reported sales form companies like Acer

In a bid to 'add a bit of Xmas boost' to the market, Gartner can simply go back to its old methodologies*...

...and predict a +30% increase in PC shipments for 2010

:~)

Shirley that's good news for anyone !

* Before you 'bust a blood vessle, remember that these methodologies were the basis of invoices totalling MILLIONS of dollars a year - so don't laugh out loud;~)

I've nick'd with

the joo-joo eyeball
the monkey finger
the walrus gumboot
the muddy water
the mojo filter

And one thing
I can tell you is
it's got to be free

Or somebody will have the devil to pay
