I personally feel this statement is inaccurate. The 'home PC' as we know it will change very little in the next 3 to 5 years, aside from OS, interface standards (HDMI, DisplayPort, etc), and hardware advances (CPU, HD-DVD or Blue-Ray for optical drives, hard drive technology advances, memory advances, etc). The 'home PC' industry is a billion dollar market in peripheral sales; it's unlikely an appliance-based evolution will occur as quickly as you speculate. Just my 2 cents. -- EnochLight ------------------------------------------------------------------------ EnochLight's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3392 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23496 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
