Zeev's Turnips Patch-No Politics (ZEEV)

[hunkerdown]

- Since the 2000 debacle most of the action in the computer scene has been moribund. People and companies were finding all sorts of ways to avoid capital expenses in regards to tech purchasing. The potential for a pent-up demand spike in the computer industry lurks. Businesses and individuals have been holding back, especially over the past few years. They do not hold back forever. Most people and companies, as this is written, have one or more computers that are long overdue to be replaced. And the hardware itself has an impact on productivity. Machines that are as much as 100 times more powerful (simply based on Moore's law alone) than those from 1999 are being sold as this is written. At some point users and businesses all say "wow!" at the same time and, after years of waiting, pile on to the bandwagon and buy buy buy. This can and will create an unnatural spike in sales and buzz.
