Hello Red1954-ga,


According to Madar Research Group PC penetration worldwide is
estimated at 10% as of December 2002.


“Madar Research Group has estimated PC penetration in the Arab world
at 2.32 percent by the end December 2002, after making the first
survey of installed PC base covering 18 Arab states. The finding comes
well below world average PC penetration, which is estimated at 10
percent.”

PC Penetration Rates by Region
------------------------------
North America       62%
Europe              24%
Latin America       7.25%
Arab Countries      2.32%

According to Robert G. Rogers, executive director of the Global
Information Infrastructure Commission:
 
“Eighty-five percent of the people in the world live where there are
fewer than 50 personal computers for every 1,000 people. Only 13
percent of the world’s population lives where the per capita access to
personal computers is 20 percent.”
