Aucbvax.1729 fa.apollo utzoo!duke!mhtsa!ucbvax!SK@MIT-MC Sun Jun 14 11:19:33 1981 personal computer economics "... So your increase in productivity would have to be at least 20% to break even." Not at all. Suppose your time is worth $30,000/yr. I will sell you a two dollar widget that will increase your productivity 10%. According to your statement, you would not buy the $2 widget from me because it doesn't "save" you $6,000/yr; it only saves you $3,000/yr.

What you were trying to say is that the ROI of OA should be higher than other investments. Yes, I agree. But your statement above is incorrect.
