    He added that "while PCs will continue to be much-used devices", they're "no longer at the leading edge of computing" and are going the way of the vacuum tube, typewriter, vinyl records, CRT and incandescent light bulbs. He forgot "prophylactic" in the list above. It's obvious that his existence here indicates their diminished use, despite the fact that all concerned participants "knew better".

      It was meant as a joke but I had a follow up chest X-Ray today because they found a spot on my lung, but I had bronchitis when I had it taken so I'm not overly worried but...?

      I couldn't find that f'ing thing that peels the carrots and potatoes so I asked the kids if they've seen it. Apparently she left me yesterday.

          Thanks, It's the VA and at least in this area they're one strawberry short of a fruit salad if you know what I mean. I've gone through this a couple of times before and when they do a follow up it turns out to be nothing. But I smoked for 45 years so anything is possible.

            Depends on the work. You don't need particularly high specs for most work-type things (coding, word processing, and the like). (It is nice to have a faster computer though)

            I'd disagree... I have fairly big projects, you need a pretty decent computer for most big projects... and firmware, well let's just say if you've ever done it, I don't need to explain myself.
