    Hi there
    I like the fact that loads of these "Mini PC's" come without an OS at all -- I'll bet a lot of the Bloatware providers HATE this trend.

    Cheers

    Articles headline calls it a Collapse ,and the word was change to a Decline in the rest of the article[what I read of it] ,300 million + units sold in 3 or 4 years ,if that's a collapse then I think most things we use on a daily bases are in trouble

    Yeah. I'm glad I got rid of mine. I had to reboot the damn thing every time I sent it down a flight of stairs!

    I find you have to push them though or they stop half way down. It almost seems they have got bored. I tried throwing them straight to the bottom of the stairs but it was slightly unsatisfying both for me and (presumably) the metal spring.

    EDIT: Now I'm thinking, does this observation help when considering computer operating systems. If you shove Windows XP (as a spring) does it tumble all the may to the bottom? Does windows 8 sit on the second stair and sulk?

    What scared me was I opened the case of a custom build I had someone do for me. Where one would expect the power supply, that spring was sitting there. :)

    Not only that, but when I tried to copy and paste in Explorer the CD door opened and this brown putty was in it.

    does your putty bounce? I'm sure mine did when I was a kid...

    Yeah. But the downside of bouncing is it picks up dust. Makes it tough to get a clean copy. :)

    But I'll say one thing. It did morphing way before computer software.
