Figure on smaller items like computers, cameras, ipods, probably every 4 years.

More and more companies are developing smaller processors, which will affect the size of laptops no matter what. Many people only need computers for basic purposes life surfing, chatting and youtube, and slowly they and companies are figuring that out. Netbooks are a great trend IMO and will only push companies to be more competitive in their product range and pricing. Ken,
