u can buy a decent PC for 30k approx(am i rt?). many Indians think like this....\"what is the resale value? how long will it last?....etc............\" . considering Moore\'s law(check spelling !)ur PC will be only half as fast the latest in 1.5 yrs. and because there is wear and tear(what is the equivalent term for computers?)ur PC will slow down, ........and u got to always update ur softwares......etc.....and keep in touch with the world..... with all this .....do you think the PC will penerate the Indian market very well?(compared to other products)will Indians(i mean, much of teh population) feel that its a necessary item in their house?

Computer may not fetch you a good value when you sell it - however to many its not an asset that they would depend on to make money - it is a tool for education and knowledge - like any other educational tool or for that matter say books. You don\'t expect a good resale value from a book isnt\'it. You many get a few rupees when you sell a book which you bought for say 500 RS but is that the value of the book ?? The book has given you wisdom and knowledge that is priceless!! For some things have no measures of tangible loss and gains.
