   I hate to say I told you so, but I told you so.

   I posted in an earlier AskWoody thread that if people bought into the Chicken Little “sky is falling” scenario about the Thailand floods, the price spikes we are seeing now would be a self-fulfilling prophecy. Also known in the Tech industry as the FUD factor.

   I hope my comments did not contribute in any way to people doing exactly as I predicted they would do.

   My sympathies to all who are suffering in the Thailand floods. But no sympathies to hard drive commercial buyers (The Middlemen) who have just made this the fourth Holiday season in a row with an artificial hard drive “shortage” and price spike.
