I kinda think ram prices will drop a little bit more too, but I'm not sure how much more. Last year when I got the 256 megs of crucial DDR for whatever ridiculous price it was, like $35 or something, all the memory manufacturers were losing money, and it was pretty much a standoff to see who could hang in until the surplus ended. I remember reading that a few manufaturers did close and as a result there probably wouldn't be a surplus like that again(plus the speculation on PC demand was WAY too high and I don't think they'll make that mistake again).
As far as war. We're going and that's that. This is about one thing and one thing only, oil. If you want to know the real story of what's going on follow the link in my sig. The person who does the site is a former LAPD officer who exposed drug corruption in the LAPD and CIA and was forced to retire and has had attempts on his life numerous times. He now devotes his life to uncovering the many lies and power games our goverment has been using for it's own agenda. I might sound like a raving liberal, but check it out. Everything is cited with a source and he is neither Democrat nor Republican. He distrusts them both and has just as much dirt on Clinton as on the Oil friendly Bush administration. It's information that every citizen should about his/her government. I have come to believe by reading his information that the Bush administration had an incredible amount of warning about September 11th and chose to do nothing to gain support for a war in the middle east, where the ultimate objective was Oil and not justice. He used our grief to advance his own agenda and give the company that gave Cheney a $20 million departing gift, their Oil pipeline through the heart of Kabul. So many lives lost for oil and greed.
[edit] sorry for the rant, I know this isn't the place for it. Someone did ask about war ;-), but I should keep this stuff to off topic and will do so in the future[/edit]
