RE: Negative Growth

To All:

Can anyone explain to me where all this talk about negative growth stems from?? Have they stopped making faster, more powerful computers??? Has computer technology come to a point where it can no longer be surpassed????

Back in the 1950s there was probably as many cars on the road as there are today. Nonetheless the three American automakers continued to grow and flourish... and this despite the entry into the market of foreign auto makers.

IMHO as long as technology advances there will be a continued and renewed demand for faster and more powerful computers. There will soon be a day where computers will control every outlet in your house. With a simple voice command you can turn up your heating or A/C, turn on the lights in the master bedroom upstairs, turn on your HO model train etc.

The technological revolution is far from being over. So pleeease stop regressing back to the horse-and-buggy days.

PS- I for one will be purchasing 2 more computers within the next couple of months. An Apple G3 which I need for work and a PC (probably DELL) which I'll set up for live exchange quotes. I have 6 or 7 other computers which I now use as paperwights.

Think?.....this Generation-X doesn't read the right things.They never read the masters like Dickens and Hardy.European History...what's that?...pathetic.You have very narrow -minded career oriented individuals growing up..I see it every day and am appalled by their illiteracy.They went to College but if you ever saw their curriculum(oddball subjects like Swahili and criminology instead of the basics of History and Literature)..you'd realize why they are very transparent.They don't even know movie stars from the first half of the century.They have no inquisitiveness,no depth...I guess you call them computer geeks.
