Hdl, re:<<If one has money burning a hole in his pocket-suppose for instance one has been long Dell- one could buy a flat screen monitor, vidocamera, top notch OCR programm and scanner, color laser printer and pay what I did 16 years ago for a DecmateII, which was about half what an IBM Displaywriter cost the year before.>> How does this relate to my original posting? Here's a copy of my posting:
<< I don't think pc's "hold their price because you get more". For example, 2 1/2 years ago, I bought a Dell 200 MHz PentiumPro pc and paid over $3K for the system. Today, Dell, to my knowledge, doesn't even offer a home pc priced over 3K. (Assuming you just bought the pc and not extras such as printer, scanner, etc.) Its a tough business.>>
Thanks for the clarification:
