I Just happenned to be looking in the latest flyer
from my local PC shop and noted that prices for HW
have fallen quite a bit from a year ago.
Last Year Today
16 Meg 72pin EDO RAM 60-80$ 24-32$
1.2 EIDE Drive $170 $110
166Mhz Pentium + MB $350 $250
Win95 $89 $95
Conclusions are left as an exercise for the reader.
