I guess we didn’t call it the post-mainframe era either, but the mainframe has been relegated to the less than noteworthy category for a few decades now. The PC faces a similar fate.

It’s not so much the sales volume as it is the interest in the technology and its relevance. Software development is no longer focused on building Windows based solutions. As you say, PCs will continue to exist, but the interest is in mobile. All the attention will be focused on tablets and phones. We are definitely entering the Post-PC era.

Until another device lends itself to the DIY community the way the PC has, I don’t see it disappearing from the home anytime soon.
