This always seems to be the case with new tech. It costs a pretty penny to be on the sharp end of the stick, but if you’re willing to lag a few months behind the newest gear, the bugs get worked out and you save a few bucks.

It is a huge drop - we have all been boned by the first VCR for $1200 - DVD player -CD burner - digital Camera - so on . Yes Two months to half price is extreme , but people who can buy them "enjoyed their 2 months of glory " .

Even Bill Gates said We sell machines and software , and try to make it obsolete as quickly as possible with a new product .
