Farhad, when hits on your column drop do feel the need to crank out another Apple column?
The disposable PC is a luxury for the middle and upper class, but for the majority of people, they don't buy new computers every year, every three years or five years.
News flash: there are still hundreds of thousands of Windows 95 and 98 PC's out there. They may not be acceptable to you but to these families, they are perfectly adequate.
They'd rather spend their money on groceries.
My company gave away a bunch of 7 year old Windows 98 computers to its factory workers. They were thrilled to get them.
I'm sure you can find a hundred thousand anecdotes about geeks who flip their computers on eBay.
I can find millions of households with 10 year old PCs chugging along too.
Seriously, what's more important, Apple's market share or Microsoft's effort to undermine open source? Why is Salon running your blog alongside columns like the War Room?
