    And let us not forget the cloud. Why have a powerful new PC when all the data processing can be done in an instantly-scalable virtualised datacenter?
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    Many reasons, although I don't expect you actually wanted an answer to that

    Competition from new devices is, as you mention, likely to be a contributing factor. But how many shares have gone up recently? I wonder how they compare to the whole market?

    So many companies are really heavily cutting their investment in new infrastructure, that includes IT.

    Traditionally the businesses have been the real profit centers for technology firms, with the exception of gaming graphics hardware. But even those guys are aiming for the businesses rather than just gamers now.

    There is also a seasonal effect, the market drives the price up at the end of the tax year to make people pay more for less then it drops as new money/support falls away. Got to love it!
