Steve Wozniak, Apple Computer's co-founder and one of the key people behind the PC revolution, believes the seemingly unrelenting upgrade cycle is leveling off--creating economic problems for some technology makers, but giving financial relief to buyers.
End users "pretty much have as much computer as they need, and they really don't need twice the speed anymore," Wozniak said. That wasn't the case 25 years ago, when he and Steve Jobs founded Apple. Within five years, the demand for processing power helped propel Apple into a $500 million company.
