In your old age, will you own a computer? Will it provide you with endless entertainment straight up to the moment of your death?
In 200 years when I die my computer will have these specs:
80" semi-spherical 3D screen
900,000,000GHZ centrino
70,000,000 TB
integrated graphics
a trillion gigs of ram
dual boot OSX and Windows
 
It sounds amazing, I can't wait to have it

Once you wanted revolution, now you're the institution, how's it feel to be the man?

I'd opt out for a Holodeck for entertainment.
Or for basic computing, I'll just consult my Tricorder

Don't bully me, I got an Uzi... HOO-HAH!

I'd rather have a PADD instead, and I'm not just being funny. But in all honestly, I think I would be worried about more important and timeless things when my time is near than what my current primary computing device is.

I wouldn't mind a cool 3d one line in Minority Report.

I guess my last computer will be when they make a laptop whose battery is powered by Mr. Fusion, and it explodes in my face one day PowerBook 5300-style.

As I plan to live fast and die young, I expect my last computer will be my iBook 500 G3.
Okay, maybe a MacBook Pro... if I last that long...

I don't know what my last computer will be like, but right now it seems like my last Mac will be my G5. Hopefully I'll be able to find a Quad G5 at a decent price, and then I'll have the king of all Macs forevermore.

Whatever it is, I don't imagine my last computer will be anything we would recognize as a computer today.

It will probably be a quantum computer capable of rendering life-like ultra high-resolution real-time 3D imagery directly into my brain with a neural interface ---> which of course, would finally make pr0n superior to actual sex.

Have you seen the people on myspace.... only about 2% of them are virtual sex worthy.

You don't think there will be a photoshopping equivalent for fixing up digital sex partners?
I used the scale tool on part of me... guess which part!
