Written by Don’t you think that PC Computers are just great. I can recall back in 1984 when I bought my first computer, a TRS80 16k level 2 computer, a really big beast! I was really proud to bring the beast homeII brought the beast home with pride and let it out of its cage. I plugged it and I was ready to listen to the nicest roar of my life. Complete silence. This machine did not have fans, so it stayed there without a sound. A small led told me it was on. Yes the beast was ALIVE!
I asked myself; Now what?. I went through the books and began to learn basic language. I made little simple basic programs. I was amazed. Look honey! You can read my name on the screen! She looked at me like a mother looking at her kid with a polite smile and stepped out of the room unimpressed. PC computers have progressed quite a bit since then. I have good memories of the shear amazement and pleasure I had with my humongous 16k computer up to this day. Nowadays we can buy so many kinds of PC computers and with a lot of different gadgets, it is just mind-boggling. And what is exciting today will be just lukewarm in the future. Time goes fast in the life of a computer.
A desktop model is something that will sit in your home, and will take care of all your personal needs. Though in some cases, a desktop is more convenient in your home. For some reason, when it comes to using a computer at home, they are more secure, and more convenient. Also, the prices for good PC computers have come down considerably. When you think of computer capabilities from ten to five years ago, and the amount they charged at that time, you are getting twice or even more a computer today for half the money you spent at that time.
Even though laptops are becoming more popular, there is still a big market for PC computers. If you go to an electronic store like Future Shop or Best Buy, you will probably see an even display of both types. Even though I appreciate my laptop, I am glad to have a couple PC computers in my house. Though one of them is very old, I will be replacing it soon with a newer model. I always liked playing online games and find it more interesting on a regular PC computer.
