In college and at sales schools today, the term is marketing strategy. Even if they are ripping you off. Ha! Ha! I agree 100%. Buyer beware! It's a dog eat dog world out there friends. Everything is throw away and get a new one.

Every manufacturer learned or is learning from the computer manufactures. You never get what they have, they sell you what they want. These guys have the market figured out 20 to 50 years ahead of what we‘re thinking. We all know that by now.
