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.

And when did you get your corpus collectomy? Let me paint a picture of what has gone on in the computer industry for the past thirty years Mr. Rip Van Winkle with Zero IQ. Back in the sixties, one could buy one of the Sperry Univacs for a cool million or two. And one would have the computing power of what one has today in a computer that sells for about one thousand dollars. Add the effects of inflation and the actual cost of that computing capability is $300.00. Thus for the same type of computing power,(not to mention increased software capabilitities) the cost has decreased dramatically, and as a result the demand has increased exponentially.

Thus, the computing industry is the perfect example of the laws of supply and demand working.

Rather posts like yours merely demonstrate that in a bull market, an awful lot of very dumb people like yourself can make lots of money.
