That's probably a poor indicator of wealth. Warren Buffett is
legendary for being cheap. As is the head of Ikea. There's a book
from the 1990s: The Mind of a Millionaire and their research
showed that your average millionaire was more likely to own
a car wash, laundramat or other fairly dull business that was
a cash flow machine and that the wealthy were careful with money
paying for value but not for flash.

A lot of people pay for flash but they borrow money to do so.

Speaking of flash, I had a look at some 4 GB flash cards from
SanDisk that claim to have double the throughput of regular
flash cards. They don't carry them near where I live but I
was wondering if anyone has done any testing on these to see
how they compare with notebook drives. I was thinking of using
one of these as a solid-state build disk. The throughput is
supposed to be 20 mb/sec which is double regular flash. I did
some tests about a year ago and found flash to be a lot slower
in general an unsuitably slow.

Intel is up a tad premarket and AMD is down about 20 cents.
Several other stocks I checked were unchanged but I'd guess
that things were quiet ahead of the employment report.
