Me and Deflation

[oROEchimaru]

Often I think now in my college years,
how can I continue to afford computer hardware with loans?

Then I think back, when I was in high school, how more expensive the parts were!
My AMD 64bit pc, was much cheaper then my Celeron 1 and 2 systems that sported 256mb ram and low end geforce cards.

Honestly, paying for my new raptor 740gd, I was like... 76gb! 160$??? But then, my old drive I rescently found... Maxtor 60gb I paid around the same if not more back in high school at 7200 rpm (if that).

In a way, speed at same cost, is still deflation. More for your money (hd space) is still deflation as well.

We get much more today for our $ then we did before, unless you shop at Alienware.
