HH, thats actually a really good point.. Thanks for bringing that up as I never thought about it that way.. but heck, IM a grizzley bear so I personally think once all the consumer debt starts catching up with people (it already has, they just havnt noticed it) I think we are going to really see some difficult times.. I read a sad story about a week or 2 ago about a gamer who was obsessed with online gaming.. He was a part of one of the online gaming communities and something went wrong and someone essentially destroyed his charector so he killed himself.. They found that he lost his job, and hadnt left his house in weeks just playing in this virtual community until he snapped.. In a strange way, it reminds me of something the late-great Anthony Elgindy of s/i fame once said- 'The bull market is going to take years to unwind because people will dig for change under sofa seats and cars looking for each last dime to make it all back.. then they will sell the cars and sofas.. only until they loss every last dime will the market hit a bottom'.. I think the same way about gamers- they consider the latest and greatest graphics cards to be a priority in life : )
