Say, isn't that stupid to sell both 20 and 40 MB drives?  I guess all
40 MB are sold out and there is a big surplus of 20 MB, no?

Oh, they sell at different prices !?  Say, now THAT is smart - to sell
different capacity drives at different prices ...

(exit sarcasm mode)

Before I get the response that there is a 50% difference between 40 and
20, but only 20% between 50 and 40, let me point out that there is at
least one company that makes 100 MB and 110 MB drives priced (a wonder
of wonders) $999 and $1099 respectively.
