Re: Hybrids becoming more affordable
It's like PCs - it first cost me $2000 to get my 1st one in 1994. At one time there was talk of a $500 "network PC" that was essentially a smart terminal that logged in to an account with all your apps, etc. These days, you can get a decent desktop for $500-750.
