Not to worry, just another buggy whip industry...

Not at all. That would be like saying that TV made radio obsolete or that pick up trucks made freight trains obsolete.

Last year, 75 million desktop units were sold in the U.S. That is about the same number sold WORLD-WIDE in 1996, when PCs were already a common household item.

Are desktop PCs needed for casual browsing? No. But they are still needed for lots of real work. I find it more likely that the home comm. device of the future could still well be a desktop PC hooked up to a monitor, replacing the TV. Now THERE is a buggy whip industry on the horizon.
