Unsurprising

I feel there are 2 reasons for the drop in; firstly (and obviously) the depression/recession/credit crunch is having an impact everywhere, secondly it is the price of PCs; I'm in the market for a new dual core PC at the minute but not even ebuyer have anything under about £250. Manufacturers keep upgrading models unnecessarily and trying to prop their prices up that way, while if they concentrated on dropping their prices they could sell more volume at a smaller profit and retain the overall level of profits. This is how supermarkets can do you a DVD player for about £10 and a digital tv recorder thing for £80.

Oh, if someone knows somewhere that's flogging dual core PCs for less then do let us know.

Pirate cos Paris like pieces of 8.
