A 1995 Honda Accord with 100,000 miles is all you need. It gets you to point B from point A just as good as any other car. Then, why do people buy Mercedes, BMW, Cadalac, etc?

A $70,000 house with 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom is all you need. Then, why do people continue to build/buy $250,000 houses?

chic,

I don't think pc's have quite the consumer appeal that an Accord or a tv or jeans has......I think pc's are still considered the purview of geeks or a work necessity, and not necessarily a status symbol.
