PC Computers are really great these days. I ca recall back in 1985 when I purchased my first computer, a TRS80 16k level 2 computer, a really big beast! It was with pride that I brought it home and let it out of its cage. I plugged it and I was anxious to hear the nicest roar ever. Nothing. This machine did not have fans, so it stood there completely silent. A little light showed me it was on. Yes the beast was ALIVE!

I asked myself; Now what?. I went through the books and started to study basic language. I created little simple basic programs. I was amazed. Look darling! You can read my name moving on the screen! She looked at me like a mother looking at her child with a polite smile and stepped out of the room unimpressed. PC computers have changed a lot since then. I have good memories of the shear amazement and fun I had with my humongous 16k computer up to this day.

These days we can get so many types of PC computers and with so many gadgets, it is just incredible. And what is hot today will be just lukewarm tomorrow. Time goes fast in the life of a computer.

But there is a lot to be said about PC computers.

A desktop model is one that will sit in your home, and will take care of all your personal things. Though in some cases, a desktop is more convenient in your home. For some reason, they still see more secure, and more convenient when it comes to using a computer at home. Also, the costs for good PC computers have come down drastically. When you consider computer capabilities from ten to five years ago, and the amount they charged then, you're getting twice or even more a computer today for half the money you spent at that time.

When laptops are becoming more popular, there is still a huge market for PC computers. If you go to an electronic store like Future Shop or Best Buy, you will probably see an equal display of both kinds. Even though I love my laptop, I am glad to have a couple PC computers in my house. Though one of them is very old, I will be replacing it soon with a newer model. I always liked playing online games and find it more interesting on a regular PC computer.

When you purchase PC computers today, you have more options than in the past. Some companies will allow you to design your computers precisely like you would like them to be. Dell computer is one of them. This means that if you are into computer gaming, they can build a system just for you. If you use your computer for business, there are many additional options they can include. For those who take a lot of photos, or like to play around with video, you can find PC computers that are made just for you.
