Quote: | PCs are going through a severe slump," said Jay Chou, a senior analyst with IDC's World-wide PC Tracker.

Quote: | Researchers IDC and Gartner Inc. IT -0.17% said PC shipments in the third quarter fell more than 8% from a year earlier, the steepest drop since at least 2001. A third report, from IHS iSuppli, projected PC shipments for the full year would decline for the first time in 11 years.
"This is definitively a crossroads" for the computer industry, said David Daoud, an analyst at IDC. "It could be a make or break moment." |
