RE: Car like IKEA? Meet OX!

I like it.
I'd buy one if it were cheap enough.
By "cheap enough" I mean 1/10 what today's 'cheap' cars cost in the US.

Consider...a Billion dollars worth of computer memory (nineteen fifties price) , say...a gigabyte. Is basicly free today. In the eighties I bought my first hard drive. It was ten megabytes and it cost twenty five hundred dollars. Today I can get a fifty gigabyte (fifty thousand times as much) for free in the cloud. Why has the price of hi tech gone down but the price of cars (and houses) gone up?

Sort:  

Nice thoughts, but I think it is because if you build a house, or buy, you will use it till death or at least ten years. But they want you to buy electronic asap because in two years it is piece of history. How long do you have cell-phone, computer? And if more than 5 years, it is really ancient (and you are lucky it is still working).

I used XP until they pried it from my cold hands. They quite supporting XP so I had to let it go. I used a Nokia Brick (it had buttons) until Cingular was bought out and no one supported it any longer. I have socks older than five years. If it ain't broke..dont' fix it.
