Not so sure I do. If you look at the trend toward centralization of data on large servers, and Gate's talk about Megaservers, it seems to me that we may be heading back toward this model to some degree. That is also what Gerstner has been saying in his 'era of the PC is over' talk, although his view may be somewhat biased. <ggg>

PS - If you feel the PC will be replaced by a cheap appliance, that sounds like the storage and processing power is 'centralized', either on a server or larger offsite machine...
