I always find it amazing that there is always going to be a brand of person that makes no attempt to see things from different angles at all. But then I guess it's just another angle in a way, so I should try.  |
As more choices come about, people are differentiating. No more the row by row of work stations with only a terminal and the mainframe in the basement.
Now also:
Desktops
Laptops
Chromebooks
Netbooks
Tablets
eReaders
Smartphones which do it all (or so their users like to think.)
The important question is what are you going to do with it.
Now days what most call a "computer" is for playing videos, listening to music, and mail.
So it is a replacement for the TV, a Radio and an paper/envelope/stamp.
Some like myself have them all. (The one with the most toys wins!)
