I haven't bought new hardware recently but I do read the tech news sites. 
Even the price of a Raspberry Pi has been driven up to the point where it 
is not attractive. When people found they could use GPUs for bitcoin

more general problem.

Trump's 'we aren't at war' thrashing around has much broader 
implications.
