They started making useless changes just to keep people buying. Is that what has been happening to computers in the last decade. Do Ma & Pa grocery stores really need 16 gig of RAM and terabyte hard drives. It's hilarious. So what if the bubble bursts on computers because people understand they don't need bloated software wasting the processing power of fantastic hardware?<br /><br /><br />But the computer mags want to make money on advertising so they are not going to blow the whistle.

The problem with these crybaby Jared Diamond po-pitiful-us arguments for collapsitarianism is things have hard time staying collapsed. Dammit! Why even Baghdad is looking better than at the height of its power a thousand years ago!John Kurmannoreply@blogger.com
