Get Real. NO ONE can say what the computer market will be like in the future.  
Statements like these in one of the fastest changing industries in the history  
of the human race are made to be eaten.

10 years ago, people said those who thought unix would become a major force in  
todays market were "engaging in dangerous self-delusion". I have to say that  
unix has become one hell of a big delusion :)
