if the market does not want PCs, then there is no point in making any.
Think horse carriages. When cars became the prevailant form of transport, the owners of horse carriages were screaming - of course. But who cares? Like nobody? - There is three options for PC makers:
1) Stop making PCs, get a new hobby altogether instead.
2) Stop making PCs, make netbooks and other more fashionable items instead.
3) Keep making PCs in such a way that people are still interested in buying them.
Hey wait, did I just sum up the workings of a free market in three easy to remember bullet points? Some PC makers defo need to read Osnews forums more often!
