This article confirms what anyone into technology already knows...progress
is inevitable. When I got my 9800 Pro video card back in the summer of
2003, I knew that something better was only months away. However, if you
allow yourself to get caught up in thoughts like that, you'll never buy
anything. There's always something new a better on the horizon, no matter
when you buy.
