It is only a few dollars, and they are still a bargain. It would be
nice, however, if they had kept the same pricing, AND they would have
reaped the added benefit of better market saturation by this point in
time as well.
As it is, there are a lot of folks with your mindset.
I am just pissed that I pick hobbies (like PCs and DVDs) that have the
worst depreciation rates known to man, and some punk kid has a baseball
card that appreciates 2000%!
My XT should be that way! My Original 10MB Tandon full ht HD should be
a collector's item!
It will be... forty years after I am fucking dead! :-[
Knowing our luck, entertainment media will be "free" by then.
but may contain ads that cannot be bypassed...
ARRRRGH!
