The PC is not passe

Kelly McNeill writes “There has been much talk over the past few years about the ultimate demise of the personal computer. People have argued that the average consumer does not require the full power of a personal computer. Instead, they say, there will be a migration towards digital appliances that are limited in function, but as easy to use as a TV set or toaster. I don’t doubt that digital appliances will find their place amongst those who do not need personal computers. However, there will always be a segment of the population that will need and want PCs.”
