A poor Jew finds a wallet with $700 in it. At his synagogue, he reads a notice saying that a wealthy congregant lost his wallet and is offering a $100 reward for it. He spots the owner and gives him the wallet.
The rich man counts the money and says, "I see you already took your reward."
The poor man answers, "What?"
"This wallet had $800 in it when I lost it."
They begin arguing, and eventually come before the rabbi.
Both state their case. The rich man concludes by saying, "Rabbi, I trust you believe ME."
The rabbi says, "Of course," and the rich man smiles. The poor man is crushed.
Then the rabbi hands the wallet to the poor man.
"What are you doing?!" yells the rich man.
The rabbi answers, "You are, of course, an honest man, and you say the wallet you lost had $800 in it. Therefore I'm sure it did. But if the man who found this wallet is a liar and a thief, he wouldn't have returned it at all. Which means that this wallet must belong to somebody else. If that man steps forward, he'll get the money. Until then, it belongs to the man who found it."
"What about my money?" the rich man asks.
"Well, we'll just have to wait until somebody finds a wallet with $800 in it..."

Perhaps the wealthy congregant should have claimed he suffers from Affluenza?
From what I see of the world, there's a lot of that going around in - been going on for some time - "some of us are more equal than others".* I knew I it was a mistake when I wasn't born rich.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

It sounds like you want to meet this woman and be gross after giving a store. (8)
No takers today
Sounds like you want to meet this woman = Date her = Data
gross after = base
store = Database

If you think every meeting with a woman must be considered a date .... well, let's just say we know more about the inevitable collapse of humankind than we did before! 
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

In This thread here[^] I asked the members of CodeProject to predict the future of the Desktop PC market.
Seems the expert big-shots did their research, and you guys who contributed to that thread were highly accurate. Here is a report[^] on the data that they have tracked.
It is so close to what you guys said.
This is definitely a significant marking point in a trend, not just a blip or a glitch in temporary spending patterns. This market is not going to be anything like it has been for two or three decades.
It would be interesting to somehow plot this with comparisons of similar data from previous technical markets such as...
- CB Radios
- Color TVs
- Small B/W TVs
- Stereos (from the days of turntables)
- Boom Boxes
- Small hip mounted stereo players (e.g., The "Walkman" days)
Not sure if anybody ever quantified those data, or if they are available.
Looks like assembling your own Desktop PC will be the new norm.
Thanks for the opinions you guys tossed in to the other thread. Seeing this article, and comparing it to your predictions, was extremely useful.
The one thing that confuses me is this table[^] from that article.
It shows the big names decreasing their quantity, but "others" increasing by 19%

My first PC (a 486SX in 1992) was from CompuAdd (I see that Wikipedia has an entry for them). It came with Windows 3 pre-installed, but they forgot to tell me that I needed to add a mouse  .

If this[^] guy was still around, he would have beaten you by at least a million points.

I did. The way he puts off homework questions is funny too. Not sure if the kind of language would be accepted here anymore. Nothing better if that can work.
I was reading some old articles and messages and things were way more hilarious back then. One of Pete's messages made me laugh so hard that, for once, I was center of attraction. I did not like that.
