the reason for the decline is that the market has been saturated with computers that perform beter then most people need. my computers are 5 and 6 tears old I see no reason to replace them because all I use them for is browsing on the internet, streaming video and word processing. I see no need to pay 5-7 hundred dollars for a computer that performs better because we have finally hit the point where it does not mater anymore. unless you need an incredible graphics card for on line gaming you just don’t need the improvement in performance.
It’s interesting that Windows 10 and Mac OS 10.11.x are BOTH less useable and more oriented to external control of your system than their predecessors.
I’ve run Windows and Mac OS on the same CPU for years and years. Win XP and Mac OS 10.6.x were the best, from the point of view of YOU being in charge of your system and having it set up to run, more or less, the way you wanted it to.
But the advent of the internet as a cash machine for content producers has overcome all that. MS and Apple’s business model has turned to selling YOU, and your information, to them. And that’s a little bit sad.
