Fair enough. What I (and others) are pointing out, is that there is a large populace out there whose computing needs are already met (and then some) by current computing levels. (Unlike, say, 20 years ago.) For those people, system upgrades are of questionable value.
This isn't to say that others don't need the latest in hardware/software, but it's not everybody. I'd rather spend the perpetual upgrade costs on another day or two of vacation each year. (But that's me, other people's mileage will vary, which makes the world a better place.)
