Brian, Dvorak makes my point almost exactly, except that he is articulate. -g-

I would like to make the point that I am not saying, and I don't beleive that Dvorak is saying, that pc sales are dead. That isn't the point. The point I am making is that the peak in growth rates is well behind us. Now, with the boxes commodities, there will be strong years and weak years, but that will have more to do with macro-economic factors than with any "gotta have it" technological innovations.

This is also not a Luddite philosophy. There will be plenty of technological innovation in the years ahead. It is just that the big needs have already been filled fairly adequately and nothing on the horizon fulfills those needs remarkably better. And the next dramatic innovations may be totally away from pcs and perhaps, even anti-pc in nature. MB
