Desktops seem to be fading fast. Mostly you find all-in-one computers these days, plus laptops/notebooks and tablets. Seems the only people interested in discrete computers are gamers who want to be able to constantly upgrade individual components. That’s not to say there isn’t a ton of hardware around. Just that the market is shrinking fast. These days, everything is connected by SATA, USB, Firewire, HDMI, and WiFi, rather than backplanes and ribbon cables. -David On Oct 19, 2014, at 1:35 PM, Stephen M wrote: > I'm trying to diversify myself so I can add things on my resume.
