PC sales exploded from 16 million unit sales in 1990 to 98 million sold in 1998 alone.

Yeah, like the internet, Windows 95/98 were kind of a big deal and games like DOOM, Starcraft, etc. were massive blockbusters.

Anyone who just glosses over that in the 90s was clearly a child who doesn't fully understand everything that was going on at the time, like I'm sorry there's no other way to put that. The entire stock market boomed massively because of the PC industry and the rise of the internet happening at the time.
