This week: <http://www.cnn.com/TECH/computing/9802/26/lefevre/> he starts with a short bit on the rapidly falling price of computers, and how your old PC or Mac are almost worthless as trade-in, so you should keep it. "Make it your spare unit (the Mac will probably still work)." __________________________ Digital Guy Sez: You know what the problem with good news is? It isn't. News, that is. Like the year 2000 problem...PC's have a large share of the problems, so they get all the press. Notoriety is sometimes more lucrative than fame...look at Mike Tyson. :/ BTW, read further into this argument and we note that Intuit has an 83% market share of the PC Financial market. Microsofts share is a mere 3%. This was after they gave away Microsoft Money. Last time I checked, Intuit was still charging for Quicken. Could it be an early sign of hope that consumers are starting to get a clue? Ok, so maybe that's too optimistic...but I can still hope.
