[kwlug-disc] Meltdown and computer sales

[jekerr at sdf.org]

Hi everyone

Is this problem big enough to make IT departments delay any new hardware
purchases?

Why would anyone buy a computer that is flawed if they can wait for on
that is not.

It is almost like Osbourne computer company of yesteryear who announced a
new faster model was coming when they had a warehouse full of the old
models. that was the end of them.

Cheers

John
