“I have no desire to work on a spreadsheet on a phone or a tablet.”

Agreed. And I’m sure traders and analysts at brokerage firms have no desire to run their high end trader workstations and large spreadsheet models on them either, unless they enjoy typing with their pinkies and getting stiff necks.

If somebody gave me an iPad, I don’t think I would ever use it.

It doesn’t have a keyboard or mouse and the screen is a fraction the size of my monster monitor, which I love.

I call bullshit on this.

There will always be a bazillions of desktop monitors with separate keyboards and a mouse, however connected.

The reason computer sales are slowing is that we keep our computers longer than we used to. We don’t need ever bigger drives and memory. I have had the same laptop for 5 years and I am not and have no desire for more capacity. I could see using this computer for the rest of my life.

This is just common sense.
