I've been hearing of the death of PCs for 20+ years.

Oh the laptop is going to kill the PC then the "Thin Client) (aka the renamed dumb terminal) and that the PC was going to kill the Mainframe and so on. The Mainframe just went on to become "The Cloud" or "The Cluster", The PC is still around and will be for a very long time. Hell tablets and phones could just as well be dumb terminals and the Thin Client is still kicking around. About the only thing truly dead are punch cards I think at least I haven't seen or heard of any still in use anywhere.
