When they have glasses that can simulate a large screen and a virtual keyboard like the one in Johnny Mnemonic then I'll stop buying PCs.

You can txt and lol and rofl on phones, but you need real estate do to real work.

Exactly. Smartphones are still just toys. And I for one don’t want “computing as a service”. I want to buy and own the device / operating system, paying for it just ONCE, not on a monthly / yearly basis to support some giant corporation’s revenue stream.

“but you need real estate do to real work.”

Thank you! That’s why I even prefer desktops to laptops — I still consider laptops as toys. I have one now because I got a good deal on it, but it’s docked in a replicator with a regular keyboard plugged in via USB. Laptop keyboards are not for production work, having to rely on Fn dual-purpose keys.

Windows 10 also seemed toy-ish. It’s like Microsoft forgot that some users are serious and not just there to play games. I donated mine to Hubby for his astronmoy, and bought a Win 7 for myself.

Truth.

Although we've incorporated smart phones and wireless devices into our business, the PCs still rule the office.
