marginmike, I agree that the computer has and will continue to deliver some dramatic boosts to productivity in certain areas. I would guess the Henry Fords assembly line production techniques generated greater productivity gains than Dell's manufacturing techniques. Remember the Forbes article some years back explaining how Dell made more profits from operating in its own stock ( selling puts, buying calls and stock) than from the sale of PCs over the 3 yr period 1996-8. Inflating the claims on existing wealth ( wealth being the ability to create goods and services of value- measured in real terms - not hedonics i must add) truly a new era . HO HO HO & HO Mike
