- Yep - 6 months down the track with a PC, you don't need to buy a new one, you
- just upgrade it, and unlike a console, your existing software purchases will
- still work with the new one. While I'm an Amiga user, I do like being able to
- double the power of my PC each year for roughly the same, small, amount. This
- is difficult to do with a Mac or Amiga, and impossible with a console (though
- the 3do might prove an exception...)
