Actually, that article feeds into my current concern: whether PCs are becoming television sets (in which case I fully expect all PC production to move out of the US, just like TV production), or whether they are becoming automobiles, with the pricing shenanigans that accompany auto economics. The article you posted supports the auto argument; Lou Gerstner supports the TV argument.

This is probably the attitude that consumers have regarding all commodities currently in over-supply.

When gasoline was 85cents/gal a few weeks ago, I bet most consumers would not bitch too much about paying more.

But we got this pesky free-market, supply-and-demand thing going. Aint life a bitch?<g>.
