Hi John and guys

I remember when VCR's and DVD players first came out. They were like $1000.
Now you not only can buy one for $40, they are on there way out. Technology
is like a commodity actually. When it comes out, it's new technology
"technically" speaking. But once it's marketed to the masses, it becomes a
commodity "technically" speaking.

It will be the same with plasma T.V.s Once like $20k, prices have come down
a lot. In a few years you'll be able to buy one much, much cheaper. I want
one!

Lucky
