By the way, I used the "Check Spelling" feature and it rejected "pc" and "older". I guess you can't even MENTION anything about an older pc...I'm not surprised that the spell checker didn't accept the phrase "older PC". Try a synonym for that phrase, "boat anchor".
by and large it is rare that more than 15% of the features of a desktop application are even accessed let alone used on a regular basis.Yes, but there is always at least one new feature in the massive bloat added in a new release that you really, really want. Or, as has happened to me, that your client tells you that you absolutely have to use.
Jealousy - Someone else has a copy and the user now feels inadequate.Naw, couldn't be. Computer users are way too well-adjusted to have feelings of inadequacy. How could anyone using Windows possibly feel inadequate?
So really when you buy a PC for business use, in most cases you only need a PC to run office suite type applications, 5250 emulation etc.Then again, some business people do some graphics work and need to worry about a high end graphics card ... and if you, like me, have been crazy enough to fall for the latest bloatware you still need a fair bit of horsepower to run the software even though you are only using 0.23% of its features ... and if you want to travel with your PC, you need a laptop and need to get one that is not so heavy that you will dislocate a shoulder carrying it around and that has a battery that will last longer than it takes for the flight attendant to hand out the three peanuts that you get on flights these days ... in short, sometimes you can make do with the under $500 PC, but not always. So, I'm back to shopping.
