I remember reading 200 litres, now looking in the web I find more 300 or 600 litres ! (citing UN as source):

But somehow can't find the right words to come up with more reference in English, "computer oil gallon" or "computer oil gallon CO2" doesn't bring much, anybody has some ?

That would include around 300US$/"computer" just for oil and seems VERY unlikely to me when you can buy computers for 200US$.

So let's see.. the coffee I buy is now like $11.50 a can. So this netbook is the price equivalent of 20 cans of coffee. When I first started buying PC's they were $2,000 outfits. Can of coffee was probably $3 back then. So the old coffee-to-PC ratio was 666 to one. My point here is that coffee has gone up and PC's have gone way down. That trend will continue for the foreseeable future.. food and necessities inflating, but tech getting better and cheaper. A slightly puzzling conundrum, I agree.

The good news is steel-weapons will not magically go away after the collapse and those will make interesting weapons.
