I've got good news and bad news.

The Bad News

• Its never a good time to buy a computer. Even before you buy yours the companies are working on a smaller and faster one.

The worst part is that the industry forces you to upgrade. It seems like every six months there is a new version of that one program you use all the time. Is it worth getting? Do you have to get a new machine to run it? Do you really need a smaller faster machine?

The Good News

• You may not need a new computer

If you do want one however, the other piece of good news is that you may qualify for discounts. Why pay retail? I can help you find the best place to buy a new machine. You may be able to run that fancy new software after a minor upgrade like RAM or a new disk drive.

There is no such thing as a "future-proof" machine but yours may have more life in it than you think.
