Just days before he finally hangs up his hat as Microsoft's figurehead and inspiration (on 27 June), ZDNet.com.au looks back at Bill Gates' career over the past 30 years.
Acer's Aspire Predator ticks most of the boxes for an enthusiast's machine, but the interior is a let down.
We've got mixed feelings about the Eee Box, and nettops in general. You might as well buy a netbook and gain the bonus of portability.
If you consider all of the options in the price range, the Dell Studio Hybrid is not very compelling. However, if you limit yourself to the very specific niche of small PCs, you'll appreciate its clever design and relatively powerful hardware.
The second generation TouchSmart as just a panel PC is gorgeous. The AU$1,999 price is fantastic as well — but we can't help but feel that there's so much more potential in the touchscreen aspect being left, ahem, untapped.
We're still trying to work out who the target market for the highly expensive LT VAIO is. Design-crazed multimillionaires, perhaps.

These photos bring back many memories for me. I had a Mac Classic which I bought as a first year uni student in 1991. I think I paid almost $3,000 for it and at the time Apple was running a finance deal where you could pay it off for the price of a Pizza ($15) a week. It was a great machine and was a worthy replacement for my Apple IIC circa 1986. Both machines stayed in the cupboard at my parent's house until about 2002. They both started first go shortly after they were ceremonially put on the nature strip for hard rubbish night.
