    I try to install a demo or WoW but my computer is not fit for this type of game, I guess. I have a MacBook Late 2008. The game just wont install, I guess I'll have to buy a console like the Xbox then.

    Great post. Funny that WoW is designed to survive temporary in-game deflation because top players will continue to operate in a manner that best benefits them (and, therefore, the whole in-game economy) in the long run, whereas the real-world economy is NOT based upon the same best-interest model. (Or, if it is, there are too many loopholes that reward short-term deviations.)

    If you can keep explaining real-world economics via in-game comparisons, a lot of 20 year-olds will have a much better understanding of the actual economy...

    I am getting a lot more picky where I spend my money. Cheaper supermarkets are now where I shop and I no longer buy expensive food, when we can survive on cheaper food!! Pasta is super!! Lena
