I've become so disinterested in the hardware aspect of them that I had a P4 2.4 system fail on me and I just pushed it aside and fired up a P4 1.6 I had laying around. It's been over a year and I still haven't bothered to look at the 2.4 system. I don't even know let alone care about the latest and greatest in Computer hardware these days.

My interest usually picks up when I am about to build a new one, which is about once every three years. Between builds, I have enough interest to keep mine maintained.

I'd like to get more out of them and do other stuff, but my job is 100% computers... software/hardware/coding/tech/etc. and we are always buying new technology... I cant really get away from them.

my interest goes beyond the newest video card or the fastest processor. in fact, i only really care about that if i need to upgrade. i do know a lot about how the hardware works, and how the software is created.

Bingo! I neither have the time nor the money to have it be the hobby it once was.

losing interst rapidly. Well actually lost all interest but it picked up a little when I needed to upgrade but now I'm losing it again.

Know very little about computers, too use to asking my father for help. Only interested when I have a problem or need an upgrade.

Agreed, and the all the new enhancements seem to be strictly for pc gaming, which i couldn't give a crap about
