( oh no! I feel compelled to respond...)
 " My next computer will be an IBM..."

Hm?! I remember way back, hundreds of years ago, in 1978 when I had an
IBM5100 desktop sitting around my desktop (no, Virginia, the PC wasn't
their first try in the market) next to an Apple ][ -- well ,now, every-
one knows we can just go buy parts and software for that 5100 off the
shelf, while that old obsolete Apple ][ just collects dust; hm?! 

seriously, it's only obsolete when it _stops_ changing/growing; then 
look for a new model or a new company...           
statements like "isn't it a shame that computers keep getting better..."
scare me.

( the compulsion left...)
