I thought that was covered by the suggested person buying for their kids being personal? No?
sorry, my apologies, I should have made a paragraph break, I was mixing purchase orders with individual purchases. see square brackets for clarifications --- "Actually, I'd prefer to say 10% of purchases, where a corporate PO for 2500 computers in a lot counts as one [purchase], and Sally Smith buying one for her kids to play with also counts as one [purchase]. [added: so there could be 9 corporations buying 2500 each, and one average joe buying one to play with, and it could be a personal computer. Assuming LGP-30s were purchased 1 or two at a time, the home installations would have to be 5-10 % of total units sold] [***missing paragraph break***] Fred Jones buying one [computer] to manage his personal stock portfolio counts as personal, but Sara Perez buying one [computer] to manage her paid clients' portfolios does not." [reasoning: if purpose is to make money, it is an investment for business gain] If somebody bought an LGP-30 for their family to play with, that particular instance [computer] was personal, but the percentage rule still kicks in. [Were 10% of all purchases of LGP-30s made by parents for their kids to play with?] --- Same concept as, if one guy living in a formerly industrial loft has water cooling, and 300 amp 3 phase power available, that does NOT make any computer requiring that "personal". For that I'd say must be able to plug into 50% of all homes, but realize more quibbling might apply there, such as 90% of all "middle class" homes. <pre>--Carey</pre> > On 05/28/2024 9:59 AM CDT Sellam Abraham via cctalk <cctalk@classiccmp.org> > wrote: > > > On Tue, May 28, 2024, 7:57 AM CAREY SCHUG via cctalk <cctalk@classiccmp.org> > wrote: > > > I still return to. > > > > -->Who bought them?<-- > > > > What if Dad bought one for use by the entire family? > > Sellam
