I haven't missed the point at all. Naxos said "PC's will NEVER, I repeat NEVER go out of date." That's ridiculous. The original PC from IBM came out in 1980 or 81. How many people still have that machine? How many still have Intel 286-, 386- or 486-based machines? Those machines are out of date, and they couldn't have been upgraded to anything similar to the machines being built today.
As I explained, I have upgraded my own computer almost as much as it can be upgraded without changing the motherboard, and if I do that the only original part will be the box. It will never run the most modern games or any other modern software no matter how much more I upgrade it -- it's too damn slow.
Yes, a PC can be upgraded, but it is not infinitely upgradeable. If you replace all the parts (which almost no one ever does -- they go out and buy a new PC every 2-4 years after it's gone out of date) then you've got a new PC.
