The thing that really freaked me out when I came to America was the people who basically do this. Actually, 4 years is more common: as soon as they've paid off one car they buy another. And since they only expect to own the car 4 years, they don't maintain it. I dunno. Maybe Steve Jobs knows his market better than I thought. If you think of a computer as a car, many people really do that. And they wonder why they're always in debt. -- Peter da Silva. `-_-' .
