I love the falling prices!

I've actually bought a new computer for each of the past few years. After selling mine, I usually get the new one for a couple of hundred dollars.

I saw a 1.2 GIG Processor, 40Gig HD, 8X rewritable, 128 RAM HP machine for $699 at Sam's Club Warehouse. Not top of the line, but the price is good. Buying one like this every year is better for me than spending $1,800 on top of the line machine and keeping it for several years while falling behind the times. By doing this and selling my "old" computer, I keep an up to date machine for less than I could lease.
