Re: I think over the long haul all pcs will be come small 2 year throwaways.

Could be, but we've been running into the problem that people with systems that are really too slow for the work that they're doing refuse upgrades because they have all of their applications installed and configured just the way they want them. The system seems (to them) to be fast enough, and they don't want to go through the disruption of moving to a newer system. Hard for a PC junkie to comprehend, but I've seen this behavior fairly often.

The converse is that if they're going to change PCs, the new one had better be good enough to last them for a long time - which means they demand a high performance system.

Regards,

Dan
