    gold from what exactly? the pure gold content of a single computer is likely in the milligram range. Just goes to show how stupid people are these days.

    That's the problem with gold. It's really useful for conduction (not at submicron scale), too bad it's so rare.

    If people could "make" gold, everyone would be rich. You would get nothing though from your computer.

    Calvin's got it right. Simple supply and demand stuff.
