John now says:
Ok. I'll assume a price reduction in the output of
the accountant. Still, does the price reduction
itself force you to upgrade? Was the investment
in the PC completely recovered by the time it was
replaced? Was it not a "mistake" not to take
into account "moral depreciation" when the PC
was introduced into the process of production?
