Seriously, I'm considering selling everything (else) and buying NSM at these levels.

Sort of go for broke, literally, since I feel that PCOAC is going to be the future. In my own experience, many, many people just want a computer in the house and cost is the main item to them. Once a computer becomes just another commodity, what does a name brand mean?

I was looking up some old (1968) Scientific American and they had two ads for 'computers'. In 1968 dollars a Digital PDP-8/L cost $8,500 and an HP 9100A costs $4900. Compare that with todays prices! And what does the future hold?
