The Innocent X
Banned
I thought I would try the impossible and bring together the small fragments of info we get on european hardware sales, since we get data so infrequently it can be lost in the clutter. If you have new links or info please post them and I`ll add them to the original post. Where there is more than one set of data I`ll add all sources so people can make there own minds up. Here is some to get started :-
