Jock - Give it a rest. I have worked in the computer industry for 30 years and the relationship you describe simply does not apply to this business. We have good examples just in the last 2 years. The trends in computer usage are just not elastic, demand is not stimulated by lower price or decreased by higher price. I don't think anyone knowledgeable in the way the business works would come to your defense. You seem intent on proving that edamo didn't take econ 101. I don't know if he did or not, but I took 4 quarters of econ and it has proved to be the most useless bunch of abstract thinking that I was ever forced to listen to, and has had zero application in my work, except for the definition of some common terms. No one doing MRD at the major computer companies is sitting around saying "but econ 101 says if we drop price we stimulate demand! Lets do it!" Look at e-machines. Do you think they created a new market or created demand, or did they simply grab low end sales from white box and the low end lines of the big boys?
