The PC Obsolescence Conspiracy
** This thread discusses the article: The PC Obsolescence Conspiracy **
JimmyJimmy did say "in most cases ". but that is within my own environment. I wouldn't ask the art department to produce a catalog using a low end PC or the engineering staff to create CAD drawings on an e-machine. But I would not deploy a similar PC to the person who uses a spreadsheet/word processing application for creating schedules/memos. In fact, I grudge giving some users a PC at all ! I just feel that too many users feel they are being left out of something if they don't get the high end stuff. There is nothing in Excel 2003 that "we" HAVE to have. Office 97 still does its job but we are forced to upgrade because of compatibility problems. It is a racket that Microsoft and Intel are running, GO LINUX !
