Santa brought many gizmos for the Internet

Article Abstract:

Internet-related products prove especially popular for the 1995 Christmas sales season, with fast modems, Internet access software and books about the Internet selling well. High-speed modems ranging from $80 to $230 are popular, as consumers express an interest in staying current with technological trends. In North America, analysts forecast sales of 17.8 million units in 1995, including modems preinstalled in computers, a 46% increase over 1994 totals. About 90% of all new computers now come with modems, a figure that is up 20% from 1994. New computers in 1995 also typically include software for sampling on-line services. A survey shows that one of every nine PC owners plans to join an on-line service during the holiday period. Consumers are also buying high-speed microprocessors for fast downloading and Internet navigation and 15-inch or 17-inch monitors for viewing graphics on the World Wide Web.
