CLOSE the PATENT OFFICE! Ok Bilow, you win. All PC's will be reduced to information appliances and massive integration will drive them to a $29.95 price point. There will be no more advancements in technology therefore the high end segment will die. Everything will just be reduced to information and it will be accessed with an appliance. These appliances will just inform each other that nothing has changed. Games will cease to be more realistic, advancements in aeronautics, medicine, transportation and entertainment will stop and everything we know as a civilization will be packaged on a CDROM set free with a tank of gas at Texaco. Clearly, all advancements in our society cease by xmas this year, only companies who sell perishables will be able to stay in business because there wont be anything new to buy. All we will need is food, shelter and information. Everyone will want a $29.95 appliance and they wont pay a penny more. Especially corporations who will all change their core business to accessing information. Dell and Intel will be the first casualties while the smart companies like CPQ, Acer etc. who had the vision and guts to drive themselves out of business will perish more slowly. LEDGEND computers will become king. They will crank out 1Billion appliances a year and have an annual revenue of 29.9Billion. Then we will discover that we dont even need information because we wont need to make decisions because there wont be anything to decide because all decisions have been made. Then the $29.99 PC business will die. This will lead to boredom, social unrest, world war and ultimately nuclear anhialation. The planet will blow up and we'll all die. And it will all have been Michael Dell's fault. There. Are you and Techie happy now? MEATHEAD
