Computer-Crash in 80's

After the boom, here come the crash.By 1984 the boom had ended, and more fortunes were being lost than were being made in the computer industry.Firms that refused to cut their prices found that their sales quickly declined. And firms that did cut their prices found that their profits were too low to pay their staff and suppliers.Also, once people had bought a computer,there was a problem in persuading them to buy another.Many satisfied customers did not want to change to another computer, even if it was supposed to be better. And people disappointed with their first purchase did not want to risk further disappointment.Those day one computer that "popular" can really last for a few years as long as the third party developers be it the softwares or peripherals churning new product every now and then squeeze the computer juice to the end.Now days PC computer can last for about few months and if you in "gaming" its useless if you won't upgrade it with super-duper CPU or GPU.I'm longing for the old days where one computer can really last for a few years without all this upgrading madness. I Know..I Know..I'm one of the PC user thats infected with this upgrading business sickness, its really taking a toll on me.Spending bucks like pouring water in the drain. Now day I'm stop doing all this nonsense.One more thing computer in 80's cannot be separate with 80's synthesizers music. Below OMD one of 80's favourite.
