I bought my 8.4 gig this year for $60 including s&h.. and prices don't go down at a constant rate, they go down at an exponential rate, because technology is advancing. Everyone is thinking in terms of cost per megabyte, but that's completely linear thinking. Technology advances, it doesn't just get bigger! For instance, a DSL connection right now would cost this household less than our two internet connections, three phone lines, and two 14.4k(yeah, 14.4, it would still cost less) modems! It would also support a hell of a lot more.
