What's there to talk about? PCs are boring now.

We could start posting new hardware announcements again?

Fully agreed. Even some of Intel's clever things with
Atom and i7 are much less exciting than they used to be.

Boring is good! It implies a satisfactory situation
with only marginal improvements desired. You'd rather
have drama? Major shortfall?

For the last 10+ years, computers have been more limited
by software than by hardware.

Quite probably. Without competition, a monopoly tends
to go slow on innovation. For example, pre-breakup AT&T.

I'm no longer working in the industry, which makes developments there
even more boring. ;-)

We still have WinBlows for drama. No, there is quite some room for
improvement. It seems that improvement isn't in the cards, though.

Bingo!

Yep. Now look at how many alternatives there are to POTS, even if the
Baby bells are coalescing back into mommy.

There is some interesting things going on in graphics. Not just high-
end graphics, but also integrated graphics. It's starting to look like
integrated graphics is becoming more seriously capable of playing
games now.

by software than by hardware.

There's also interesting things going on in the Linux world. It's
getting quite a bit easier to use Linux with any hardware out there.

More intersting than CPU's, for sure... But there's no longer the
passion, the flaming, that went-on in the old days, when 3dfx was
around... 8)

Indeed. And the omnipresence of the Evil Empire stokes some
