Last week I decided to upgrade my last remaining 17" monitor to a
21. Not that there was anything wrong with the 1993 vintage model, just my
41 yo eyeballs are telling me that I either have to sit up in my chair to read
emails, or change something. So after most computer products I've
bought in the last 10 years depreciating by half in the first 3-6 months, I
looked at ebay. A couple hours and $279 later, I was the proud owner of a
last year's model Dell/Trinitron off lease and factory refurbished with a nice
long warranty. Didn't check Dell's price, but I would guess easily
twice what I paid. From the quantity of offerings, I am not the only
one.
Makes me think of the time ( early 90s was it?) when the world all of
a sudden realized that IBM computers were know better than any
others. Today I'm sure it can be said that there are some people that
will only buy Dell, Gateway or whatever. Maybe some of the same people who
back then said they'd never buy anything but IBM.
There's no doubt that some will always want the latest and
greatest. Love those new Sony 24s that go for $2,000. But lets see,
I could buy 7 21s for the price of one 24. No thanks.
