*OT* OK, big picture man, gotta question for you (one that stumps me)..

Was the technology-led productivity "miracle" of the late 90's:

(A) A total lie/false (due to hedonic pricing, etc.
WAY OVERSTATED)
(B) Somewhat true, but somewhat overstated
(C) Totally true, and perhaps leading to deflation

I am leaning between A and B...mostly towards B...I see the benefits of technology of course (ie., better access to more information...free e-mail is something we all can understand as a good thing). But I wonder about a human's capacity to increase quality of decision-making by having MORE information in many cases. (Like: The old hedonic argument of how much more productive is having a P56 when you only need a P3)
