Don, In this case, even the early adopters of pcs didn't get a big productivity jump due to the high cost of the boxes at that time, their complexity, which entailed training costs and salaried trouble shooters, and their non-specifity of function. The prices have now come down, the boxes are less complex due to standardization, and we are approaching the buy boxes to stand still phase you mentioned.
