Saw the new MS "Laptop Hunters" ad last night on the TV.  Besides
the norm of making the point the WIndows computers are cheap, I was
struck by what is obvious, yet to me questionable about the
correlation about being concerned about price while still spending an
awful lot on a kid.  In the ad, the mom is out with her son, shopping
for a gaming computer for what appears to be maybe a thirteen/fourteen
year old.  Her budget is $1,500.  Is this the norm these days for
expenditures on the whims of children?
