There are some factors that differentiate computers from oil and gas. For one, it has become cheaper to produce computers, but unfortunately that hasn't happened in producing oil and gas. It costs more to drill. It's more difficult to find large reserves etc. Oil and Gas is a traded commodity. Computers are not. It's a little disingenuous to compare the two and then state that someone else doesn't understand economics.

For an equal reserve of oil, it has become cheaper. However, the easy to drill places have been drilled. But anyway, take out computers. ANY PRODUCT. To suggest that prices won't come down because people have paid higher shows a complete lack of knowledge of basic economics.
