We've reached more than a billion PCs since the 70's, next billion in 2008.
So far, most of the PCs shipped have gone into developed nations. The United States has received 38.8 percent, or 394 million, of PCs shipped. Nearly 25 percent have gone to Europe, while only 11.7 percent have gone into the Asia-Pacific region, the fastest-growing market today. And then we'll need to dispose of the billions of obselete crap.
