VERY nice!

One of my main questions now will be the future of PC's available for real PC users.  In other words, most people use computers essentially just for email, surfing, music, and video.  Most people don't use computers for hard core number smashing like people who render images.

So now that we have significant alternative devices for serving communication and entertainment interests (like smart phones and the ipad), I wonder what the future will hold for hard core serious computer users like us.

As an additional quandry to the computational future, the stuff I've been reading also leans towards gamers going to console based platforms.  Games were a big part of what motivated computer developers to keep pushing so if the gamers abandon the PC environment, I wonder where we're headed.

I never get tired of bigger and meaner and faster computers.  I'm always in the mood to render faster so I hope that continues without the prices killing us.
