Ten, <Paul's analogy with cars> is silly. A person buys an exotic car to buy a sense of superiority in public places - beaches, roads, to drive to parties, etc. He/she wears it in public, and everybody see it. On the contrary, nobody cares what crap are you using to type your messages here - old 486 or else. No one actually see what you are using; you do not wear yet a desktop/laptop at a reception or on vacation. That makes a big difference. You may have a great "desire to possess" a most powerful x86, but you cannot get a great public perception from it, and therefore the computers in their current form cannot carry the same relative premium as Porsche to Acura. Drive carefully.
