Oh yeah, make the print even smaller.....
Somehow, I don't think that would help. :-)

Reports of the PC’s death have been greatly exaggerated, readers argue
• By Andrea Peterson

Every week we like to reflect on the great conversations readers are having at
the Switch -- here are some of our favorites from this week. Timothy B. Lee
boldly declared the PC dead. But not everyone was swayed by his argument.
Reader JLF1976 disagreed:
The PC is not dead, it just isn't the primary tool for the masses to do trivial things
like log onto facebook. If you are just a "consumer", then yeah, you might not
need a PC. But someone still has to produce all that content you are consuming. And they
aren't compiling code on tablets and xboxes.
That’s a really silly way to frame the argument.
Nobody is saying that PCs are disappearing. Anymore than mainframes disappeared
when mini and microcomputers appeared.
But the simple fact is that the PC dominated computing for 2-3 decades, and now
it doesn’t. And the PC market is collapsing due to tablets, considerably faster
than even I expected:

The analysts are trying to spin this as a temporary slump; but they’ve been
saying that for years...
There is a paradigm shift, but its only putting the PC back into the hands of
people that use them.

I am an appellate lawyer. I use my PC to conduct legal research, write briefs
and e-file them with the federal courts. Also to send and check e-mail. I can't
read complex, lengthy documents on the screen so I print them out. What device
can do this better than a PC?
Wait, he can’t even read lengthy documents on a PC? He sounds like he needs a
tablet. :-)
