I don't know the fail in this thread would be enough to pretty much chase away anyone permanently. I also think if he were under a different handle he couldn't resist going back to the scene of the crime.

well I'm still around, in case anybody was wondering.

Clearly.

Bump.

Worth a bump every few years. I was thinking about this recently during a discussion with my son-in-law, who is a computer science major and a semi-pro gamer (Starcraft). I asked him this question and he said he didn't see this happening even within the next decade. He felt it was due to advancements in software that match the advancements in hardware that will always keep phones behind laptops and PCs, until we reach that point where we just cannot go smaller in architecture, unless we get to quantum computing for real. I tend to agree.

But it is obvious that phones are taking a big chunk of what we used to use computers for. But every day my family members at one point or another go to a computer because there are things that are just to hard to do effectively on a phone, even though they could.

Like at work, again, I have maybe 18 windows open at any one time, and deal with multi-page spreadsheets and move data back and forth. Absolutely cannot do what I need to on a phone without a portable double screen set up or something.

So anyway, cheers!

Yep. There are many things I can do on my phone but that I STRONGLY prefer to do on my PC. Like posting on jazzfanz, for instance. I post about 1/10th as much when I'm on my phone and don't have access to my PC, even when there's something I want to respond to. If I only had a phone I'd probably lose interest in posting on any forums. Same with online ordering. I do it sometimes, but I really prefer to do it on my PC.

The list goes on.

Pit bulls (with it without cropped ears)...laptops being antiquated...or not.

Def a day when @SaltyDawg needs to emerge from the ashes.

I tried to find the original pitbull thread. No luck. I think it's a thread that morphed into a pitbull discussion.

Funny, all I could find is this...

Where is that pit bull thread when I need it?

Oh I knew since he disagreed with you, regardless of his knowledge or understanding of the breed, that he was instantly wrong. No question there.

That's what kept coming up for me too. That's why I think it's some random, maybe connected, thread that morphed into the pitbull discussion.

Guess it was on the old site.

Could be I suppose.

My sophomore year of high school (2000?), my history teacher told us that palm pilots were replacing computers. She said computers “are going bye-bye.”

Palm pilots and PDAs (if anyone remembers that term) really fizzled out. I guess you could say that number of years later that smart phones built off the idea of Palm Pilots.
