Tony, I agree with you.
DEATH OF PC: I don't think so.
Consider two of the dumbest positions held by companies in
the past :
a. IBM "who would want a computer in their home.
b. The Swiss watch makers who had a chance to
patent the watch on a chip but didn't. They said "But it's not a watch!"

Additionally, I don't know anyone who in addition to whatever mobile devices they own, don't own one PC.
I can't imagine being without my PC. Many of my friends and clients own several and network them in their homes.

Also, slower outdated machines rapidly turn into junk.
I know a women who ran a project of converting donated
PC's for the school system. She had hundreds of older pc's
and Apples. They could not give them away, even to third
world countries. There are too many collateral problems with
older machines. (And I will be the first to admit that my
fast PC now loads files and runs many apps about as fast
as my old 286 under DOS.)
