Is this the year I buy no PCs?

It seems I end up buying several PCs each year, and by "PC" I mean personal computing device, ranging from smartphones to desktop computers.

Last year, the list consisted of:

- new Acer notebook computer for my daughter, to replace her dead HP. $500

- new slim Acer notebook computer for me, powerful enough to run PTC Creo on the road. $600

- new Android smartphone. $25, on a three-year plan

- new Mac Mini to replace the MacBook my other daughter took over. $900

- new cheapo Android tablet. $85

So that was two thousand dollars thrown at the IT industry. I'm really hoping nothing breaks down this year, nothing gets taken over by one of my offspring, that I can save $2,000 or so. The IT industry sure hopes not.
