Message Board Topic: Hardware vs Software?

As digital artists, we rely heavily on our technology. What do you think is more important, our hardware or software? Hardware would include the computer itself (graphics card, sound card, monitor, display etc.) as well peripheral devices (mouse, tablet, camera, scanner). Software includes Adobe Photoshop (and other Creative Suite Programs) but also programs like Microsoft Office.

What do you think matters most? Why?
Make sure to explain your answer and use a minimum of 3 sentences!
