At the same time back when gasoline was twenty cents a gallon computers cost tens of millions of dollars.

I'd say the price of computers has dropped and the value of the dollar has gone through the ceiling!

A strong dollar will also help to bring down the price of oil

I recall ground beef at .19 a pound, too.

You can't eat computers, the old ones will work a while longer.

You can even buy refurbished computers, but I'd be leery of 'refurbished' corn...

The reality is that while computers can achieve market saturation, food and fuel aren't likely to do so any time soon, unless the market goes to hell in a handbasket, and that wouldn't be a good thing...
