For a couple months now, people have been buzzing about the iPad's role in propelling Apple to the top slot of computer sellers -- if you count the tablet as a computer, of course. More recently, we've heard the iPad now outsells not only desktop PCs in general, but also Hewlett-Packad's entire computer line (desktop and laptops). Many have pointed to this as the end of the PC era, but conventional wisdom contends that the PC's domination has a long time to go, even if it is on the slide.
