Hardware-wise, there's nothing interesting about
modern PCs. [...]
Very similar words could well have been said about things like the C64
and 68k-based Macs back when they were a year or two old. Today,
they're much sought after.
If it turns out you're right that commodity computers ten years from
now will be just faster peecees, then you are probably right. (I
suspect that will be the case, but of course I don't know any more than
anyone else does.) But if the world lurches away from peecees to
something else, it wouldn't surprise me if they became sought-after
nostalgia items.
