Neither good nor bad, so average? What do you expect with the entire year of falling prices?

Holiday sales came in as predicted. Desktop sales were weak, but notebooks were strong. And outside of those categories, products--such as multifunction printer/scanner/copiers--that performed well going into the holiday season continued to do well," Stephen Baker, an analyst with NPDTechworld, said Thursday.
Several manufacturers, including Hewlett-Packard, said they were satisfied with their sales over Thanksgiving weekend. Others predicted that their fourth-quarter sales in 2002 would match the preceding year's, and most did, at least at retail in the United States.
