PC prices are down and headed lower
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Predictably, a lot of folks are putting off new computer purchases until Microsoft releases the successor to Windows XP - Vista.
Falling sales mean falling prices. Usually, the sweet spot for PC purchases is right after the holidays. And that may still be true in 2007. But there are already some dirt cheap prices for decent machines.
You can read about the troubles behind those falling prices here.
I did some shopping of my own recently - buying a replacment machine for my father-in-law - and wrote about it in a column. Prices were so low that I was tempted to pick up a computer for myself. But it was hard to convince my wife that we really needed an eighth computer.
