hm. I should have written that more precisely, but I thought it was implied/obvious that it would go down to some degree or another. I didn't mean it would literally remain flat. it's a question of how much they drop though, and I don't think they know for sure, because there are new technologies that are really just being held back by manufacturing scale and anti-competition which otherwise could cause larger than anticipated pricing drops for older hardware. like.. how could you read what I wrote in that comment and conclude that I needed you to explain that the prices would drop?
