Are these kinds of prices specific to the Japanese market? I ask
because 15,000 Yen, that's under 100 euros and I wouldn't expect to see
a used P-IV, any clock frequency, at less than 3 times that price, if at
all. People tend to hang onto computer equipment longer around here.
One of my clients, for example, is still using a 10 year-old machine
with Windows 95 on it, while many places are still using Win98 or, at a
pinch, Win2K.
