Tom Merritt, you did not just say that!

Oh yes he DID say that.

Did you even read it? It's kind of like the guy who said in the 1880's that cars are a passing fad.

We're talking about desktop computers, right? Is it so hard to picture desktops losing an ever-increasing market share to laptops?

you never know, looked what they said about college and the information super high way

Increasing market share yes, but not that quickly. Main household computers would still be desktops. And what about gamers?

My main household computer is a laptop. I can't imagine myself being the only one. If we pop over to a retailer's website like Dell.com, we can see laptops are being advertised for under $500. I have no trouble picturing laptop sales exceeding desktop in the coming year.

Gamers (or at least the type of gamer who requires the latest and greatest hardware) make up a very small percentage of the PC market.
