## Quote — verbatim

> Can your home gaming PC be used for training? Yes, one day — not yet... We're seeing gaming PCs actually getting a lot more used, and the rate at which they're getting used is on uptrend. So that indicates that yes, in a not very distant future these gaming PCs will be a lot more usable.
