“PC Expo opens today in New York, and one of the toughest
things to find at the show will be a personal computer.

Handheld computers, Internet appliances and other gadgets will be
the central focus of the four-day trade show, which begins with a
series of seminars. A total of 85,000 visitors are expected to
attend…”

“Sony, for instance, will offer the first glimpse of its highly

“Meanwhile, Dell Computer and Intel will show off,
respectively, a home MP3 player and a Linux-based Internet terminal
at technology events going on elsewhere in New York.”
