Computer bargains

Do you mean will current computers be obsolete when HTML5 comes in? Absolutely not. A lot of stuff in HTML5 is all about getting more out of the web while using less resources. HTML5 will require less computing resources than comparable Flash does now.

Currently in tech, due to the new frontier being mobile (which includes tablets), the push is to do more with less. The race for higher and faster CPUs has basically plateaud. While desktops and laptops are getting more CPU cores, instead of faster ones, new operating systems are being written from the ground up (iOS, WebOS, Android, Windows Phone) to handle less resources.

Cheers again, you guys are awesome as ever.

Thanks lads.

Don't forget young Grasshopper, this is going to be a pretty big year for PC gaming too, the biggest in years! The Witcher 2 recently came out and is a must have, then you've later got Diablo 3, Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, Rage, Battlefield 3, Modern Warfare 3, Deus Ex: HR, Duke Nukem Forever...The list goes on! Just food for thought. Dedicated gaming desktop would be pretty sweet too...Getting a big tax return this year?

Meh, I still haven't got around to playing my way through Morrowind yet, and I'm probably going to be short on free time for the next few years what with work and travel as opposed to fruitless job hunting here in Oz.
So yeah, it's very much a long-term eventual plan, i.e. when a winning Lotto ticket blows my way or somesuch. I'm a traveller at heart so it's one of those 'if I can ever afford a house' plans.
