Technology. Sometimes it makes you feel old. Sometimes it makes you feel like an ass. Sometimes both. :-P

Funny thing is, before I watched this vid, I walked past my tv in the living room and one of those day time court shows was on the tv. At that moment, the plaintiff's case was being announced, and he wanted $4000 for his broken laptop. I thought HA! He probably bought that laptop a year or two ago, and he'll get probably $500 due to the depleted value.

@stafax $4000? Was it a Mac? :-)

The thing about technology is, you can play the waiting game forever as far as waiting for the price to drop to the point that you think is reasonable due to the depleting value of technology, but as soon as you buy it, an even better deal will ALWAYS show up within a few months.

@stafax That would be where business comes in. The tech markets are practically all price-skimmers who start high and drop. Past a certain point though it won't be worth making something anymore.

@MultimediaJay Lol! nice! I'm not sure what it was, I was just passing through the living room and the tv was on, didn't stay for the details
