Re: Because a high-end computer depreciates faster than any other big ticket item that most consumers buy.

Chuck,
Come on, get real!!! The day anyone drives their $40,000 car off the lot it depreciates $10,000. Does that stop them?

I beg to differ, most big ticket items depreciate fast because when someone is spending that much money they don't want to get something used. (jewelry, cars, tvs, even houses if you design and build it yourself so it's truly 'new')
