In that case, the better computer for the same money would benefit the buyer, allowing him to be more productive. This is where it would show up in the productivity numbers, at the PC buyer's end. Except, it hasn't shown up, in government stats or in company stats. Productivity numbers have been abysmal in all of these sectors that are buying lots of computers. That's not to say they aren't increasing productivity, just that it isn't happening at an earth-shattering rate. That's about what one would expect. I mean, a 600 MHz PC is only slightly better at word processing than a 133 MHz PC.
