Sales of workstations in Spain have increased by an average of 38.6% per year since 1991 according to a report by the European Information Technology Observatory. This growth rate is considerably higher than the European average. In 1991 4,124 workstations, worth $84m, were sold. In 1993 that figure was 10,659 and the value was $162.2m. The observatory estimates that in 1994, 15,240 workstations were sold at a value of $210.2m. With respect to the number of workstations in public administration, Spain has 12.9 workstations, personal computers and terminals, per 100 staff. This is somewhat less than the UK figure of 24.8 per 100 staff, France’s 18.8 and Italy’s 16.3, but ahead of Germany where there are only 10.8 to every 100 staff.
