Well, I haven't been buying meteorites for all that long, but I have spent who knows how many
thousands buying computer equipment over the years.  And I take it for granted that most of the
value will disapper, forever, in a short length of time.  I don't lose any sleep over it.  When I
went from having to pay $30.00 to $40.00 per megabyte of RAM, for instance, I didn't lament when the
price dropped to below $8.00 a megabyte and I'd thus never be able to resell my RAM.  No, I
gleefully bought more at the lower price.  And when it then dropped from $8.00 per megabyte to
pennies per megabyte, I again gleefuly bought more.

So if the metorites that I have drop 90 or 99 percent in value over what I paid for them, GREAT!  It
just means that I can now buy 100 times as much then next time.
