Looks like desktop and laptop computers are on the way out. The

computer desk sales. Works for me.


You just showed us you don't know a whole heck of a lot about computers.

Hint: smart phones and tablets are designed for the consumption of
content. Desktop pcs are used to create content. Bandwidth and
consumption limits are also constraints that affect mobile computing to
a greater degree.

Mobile computing doesn't supplant desktop computing. What it's doing is
expanding the computer market.

There are some laptops that have big enough screens and keyboards that I
could see one as a desktop replacement but it would have to be a quite
fast and powerful laptop for me. Besides, I'm as blind as a bat and
absolutely have to have a big screen monitor or I can't do anything. As
far as a cellphone goes, I have the simplest cellphone I could get
because I just want a freaking phone that makes phone calls, nothing
else. :-)
