Myself included.

I was fine with the old ways.

The move from Spectrums to the PC was mostly driven by my parents. I would have gotten an Amiga 500 if given the choice.

Like many others commenting on this news, every I got to upgrade my PC during the 90's and early 2000, I had to buy a new one due to the cascade of required updates.

Since 2003 I only use laptops and am fine with the limited upgrade options.

I have a desktop machine, originally intended for games which I discovered shortly after building it that I no longer especially cared to play. I don't know that I'm going to bother with another one; the only reason I can think of that I might want to do so is because I can fit more monitors on it than I can on a laptop.
