Yeah, one of the garage salers only has a couple of high
end samsung smartphones now, no computer at all.

That's pretty common with those on the facebook buy sell swap
groups too now, they just have a smartphone and nothing else.

Yeah, its been interesting to watch what has happened to MS in that area.

While once they completely dominated the OS market, they
are a very poor last indeed now with tablets and smartphones
which now completely dominate what people use now.

MS does still do very well with games consoles tho and plenty
of the kids have that as their main computer apart from their
smartphone and tablets and use it to play movies etc on.
