A few times a year you are able to buy an entire computer for like $99. Usually it is around the big holiday sales and the supplies are limited but you can buy a whole computer for $199 fairly often now in the sale papers.

Unbelievable that my first computer cost over $1400 and it is now a fraction of the speed of the new ones. It came with 256 MB of RAM which was pretty good at the time.

Anyway, last night I went to Super Wal-Mart to get a graphing calculator for college. The one I need rings up at $119.

Where is the price markdown in this technology? I think that is even more than they were back then when I bought my first computer.

I think they just fleece the college kids because they know that those calculators are required for the course.
