I've owned a PC since 1992. . . and I've never bought a whole PC since--I've simply swapped out one part for another, upgrading when either an old part died or the latest game ran too slowly for my taste (or not at all--my first 486 chip was a Cyrix, which didn't like X-Com, so I chucked it for an Intel chip).
Why would I give that up so I could just buy a computer that I'd have to replace every three to five years?

I'd prefer Yahoo charging money for this rather than Uncle Sam. At least I can choose not to pay Yahoo. . .

First long-term space station? Was I just imagining Skylab?
Sorry, but I couldn't read it after I saw the article mention "ancient astronauts" with a straight face.
