Post by: jkguzzi on July 18, 2016, 05:48:51 AM

Available also at Staples. I only go back as far as the Eldorado. What is that, an Ambassador?

Just in time for the death of the desktop PC.

That makes me sad. My desktop with two monitors is still my go to machine. But even when using my laptop I still carry a mouse and pad. Yeah, I'm old.

unfortunately as one of the most popular phones is a Moto G, your hopes of ever finding a Moto Guzzi phone skin using Google are quite remote.

I think the appropriate quote paraphrases Sam Clemens... "reports of my death are greatly exaggerated"!  :evil:

(And I do carry a mouse - the folding arc style - and pad with my laptop. The thin pad also protects the screen while the lid is closed.)

I actually hope that never happens RK. My wife and son run all of his business on their laptops. I hate using them. I just hope gamers continue to game so that I can continue to have desktop bits. I like the room to put bits in, no trouble to keep cool and I have a nice big 24" screen.

My mousepad has a photo on it taken from a friends plane of our 4th generation bach at a beach in Golden Bay (read paradise). Brings back memories each time I look at it. :thumb:

I'm doing my part to keep desktops alive.

I never game on my phone and rarely on my tablet. I haven't used our PS3 in about eight years or our Wii in about five. The types of games I play just aren't available on consoles, tablets, or phones.

I like the eye-candy cranked up on the games I play, so I usually buy graphics cards close to the high-end that are too big to fit in laptops or tablets. Even if they could fit those cards in a laptop or tablet, where would I put my multiple 30" monitors, gameboard, full size keyboard, and mouse (they certainly wouldn't fit in any kind of bag you'd want to carry around). I've re-purposed a dining room table for my gear and I use the whole thing.

I don't think the desktop PC is going to die any time soon.   :grin:

You sure you wouldn't rather have a Zundapp mouse pad:
