That the acronym applies doesn't mean the concept does.Entirely unlike the way he launched the popularity of the personal computer, the GUI, and mp3 players. Oh, and Pixar. "Man, that guy has no actual track record, just full of himself," that's your theory?Only if "post-pc" means there will no longer be any non-tablet computers, which of course it doesn't.Your theory, then, is unless a tablet can do everything a full-blown PC can do, people who aren't sheep will continue to buy PCs, is that correct? That because everyone who would want a computing device will need to be able to film Avatar, have a server in their hands, and run an outdated and rapidly fading multimedia VM, PCs will rule?You know, we're living in a post-mainframe world, and in a post-minicomputer world, despite the fact that a very small subset of the population still needs to use them and even buy new ones. I take it you don't subscribe to the idea that we're currently in PC world because some people still need more powerful machines, is that correct?Your name calling does nothing but weaken your argument. It's Kool-Aid, btw, as long as you're going to cast aspersions.</blockquote>
