Hello to all

A quick unscientific opinion poll.  Given the four types of processor socket
[Slot 1, Slot 2, Super Socket 7, Socket 370], deciding on a mobo/processor
combination and future upgrades etc is becoming more confusing and
difficult.  It seems we have to decide today which manufacturer/chip we will
continue to support with future upgrades by virtue of which combination we
purchase today.  I sort of liked the slot 1 arrangement that allowed use of
a celeron today and a PII option for future upgrade.  However it looks like
that arrangement is a thing of the past.  Any thoughts on the future of
these differing arrangements?  Are they all here to stay, or is one or the
other a declining technology that will disappear in the near future?
