Re: 80,000 school computers using GNOME in Spain

Does anybody have any stats on the size of the Spanish PC market? I found one report for Q1 2002, putting it at 380,000 units for that quarter. If we can extrapolate that out to the whole year, that would put it at 1.5M/year.

This deal would be about 5% of annual PC sales in Spain. Very cool.
