of course there is a need and i think that the faster the computers the better life will be if you know what im saying. i need a really fast computer and i dont have one but even with my emachines pile of crap i would love it to be faster so i could have faster internet and faster itunes etc. a lot of my friends who just use computers for email and that would all like better computers! its just better to have better technonlgy i reckon! more deveolpment and more growth and that! thats my piece!
