So logically, if no-one, including us, ever buys an old computer, the prices
will be very low. of course, this does us no good, since if we buy computers,
then the prices will skyrocket again ;) ;) And no-one will bother trying
to sell old computers if they know theres no chance to ever make any money
that way..
