From TechRepublic:
Demand for used computers in some developing regions of the world is outstripping supplies, a new study has shown.
One in every dozen computers used worldwide is a “secondary PC,” and about 152.5 million used systems were shipped in 2004, according to a study released Wednesday by market research firm Gartner. Secondary PCs are systems used for more than three months by the primary consumer and then made available to another person.
The research company estimated that for every two new PCs shipped to mature markets in 2005, one secondary PC will be resold. More than 200 million PCs will be shipped in 2005, according to an earlier Gartner estimate.
