Again, people sitting around swearing they'll never give up their tower are as absurd as people that swore they preferred closet-sized computers. Just because you're too much of a Luddite to embrace change doesn't mean the market won't force you to.

I don't know if people that fight this are stupid, don't look at history, think that there are more people like them that actually are, or are just so short-sighted that they fail to understand that the technology and usefulness of one form factor will eventually equal that of others.

People fight it because you don't get a comparable experience using a tablet or a smartphone. You get something from your tower that you can't get anywhere else, and until that isn't the case then there will always be strong proponents of the desktop.

Unless something drastically changes with phones, they'll never be a desirable option for me to use for web surfing or much of anything, really. Until laptops offer the same kind of power as a desktop without all the hassles that go with them, and the additional cost without the expense of customization and upgrade ability, then forget that. My iPad is useful for some very specific things but isn't even close to being a contender for what I do on my desktop, at all, in any way.

You'd see a lot less people get angry over idiots saying PC's need to go away if there was something comparable on the market. There's not, and there won't be any time soon.
