Hi,
While software is a lot of it, the "commodity" aspect of things and how far
down that's tended to push prices is more the case in the peecee world than
anywhere in the rest of computing, which all tends toward being somewhat
more specialized. And being a cheap kinda guy, that factor has a lot of
weight for me. :-)
Oh I don't know. If you hate PCs so much....
Quite honestly, the *ONLY* reason I use PC's is because of the availability
of software (and the speed obviously). If it wasn't for that I'd probably
still be running my old MegaST. ....you should
have designed your own motherboard, so you
could haevve done things properly...
....but if I'd done that I'd have used a 68K instead of that Intel garbage
IBM chose.... ;-)
