Even so, some, I'd say even many, people are simply too stupid, ignorant, lazy, or incompetent to use a modern computer to its full extent. My mom fits in one of those categories, and she uses a computer at work all day long. Yet when she decides that she wants a computer at home, she'll be required to buy something fancy, because the computer industry has decided that that's all it's going to sell, and the recycling of old computers is virtually nonexistant.

The automobile industry understands that while some of us want 300HP cars, others of us get by just fine with a 75HP car. Why doesn't the computer industry? (And I know that there's legitimate reasons for only making a smaller line of products. I'm just pointing out that not all people need the top of the line.)
