Yes. Computers aren't a fun thing anymore. They're just boring commodities with no real innovation (for compatibility reasons of course). Wow, a new menu item in the latest software. Wow, a new graphic in the Start button. A "totally revolutionary" slightly faster CPU which will allow me to run a wordprocessor 10% faster. Whoopie.
The computer industry is no longer an amature hobby place... the major innovations come in the specilist markets now.
