PCs selling like hotcakes

So, what do consumers want this Xmas? At least in the US, the list is:

1. PCs
2. Peace & happiness
3. Big screen TV
4. Clothes
5. Money

Kinda sums up my preferences as well, though I think there’s a tangent hitting my indifference curve for marginal utility of a new gaming PC depending on what level of peace and happiness we’re talking. In any case, like Gayathri (uhm, “G”) of German early stage investor Earlybird noted at DEMO Germany (excellent first event) yesterday, “people are buying PCs these days.”

Falt1ty Motherboard with Intel Chip
Fatal1ty motherboard to drool over. Computers are cool now. Really.

Prescient as ever and I should have bought on her opinion: see announcements from Intel, Seagate and others in this Barrons post today. Intel is still trading up 4%.
