I was half-joking in that post......but:
I am reminded of the statement supposedly attributed to Bill Gates regarding 640K being all of the memory that anyone could ever possibly need. He vehemently denies that he ever said it: but I'm still put in mind of it.
I also once had an engineer who was inordinately proud of his personal 386 PC raise the question as to why anyone could possibly need "all of that power" in regards to the (then) soon-to-be-released 486 processor.

When it comes to computers, I've gotten away from making any blanket observations on the impracticality of whatever might be coming down the pike.
