Mike,

Be careful when you say computer power is more "than they'll ever need."
I'm sure you could go back over the last ten years and find many instances
of claims that computers are as fast as they'll ever need. Obviously, the
rapid pace of Internet evolution will require quite a bit of processing
power even for the average user.
