To hear people talk about the wopping $2400-$2500 they spent on a computer is
amusing. I spent $2400 just on 8Meg of memory for my Mac II, and that was half
the price some vendors were selling it at during those memory shortage times.
This was the time when a 1024x768 24bit slow as a snail dumb framebuffer (no
graphics acceleration) graphics card listed for $4000, and how about a $3000
19" monitor to run it on. Today when I hear people complain about the price of
a new Mac for instance, I just think to myself those ungrateful bastards have
never had is so good and they don't even know it.
