The first price tag on trhe MacBook Air back in January, with a solid-state drive, costed just over $3,000. Last week the MacBook hit the shelves at just over $2,500! A price slashing of $500. Much of the price cut, or all of it, was because of new solid-state drive technology. Wow! I can't believe it. We're getting newer technology for a lower cost! Isn't the consumer supposed to WANT to buy new technology and then the vendor responds by making it more expensive?

Finally a vendor is responding properly to technical inovation. Hats off to Apple. You can read the full story at
