what is even better is that when the ADB stuff came out, a guy from Apple was quoted as saying it cost them a little over $2 to make an ADB mouse.
I got a mac 128k when the 512 was released... $2,495 for 128k, $3,495 for the 512k. We got a great deal on the 128k: $1700!!!
3.5 inch disks were 400k, and $4 each, of course they were hard to get. I had to mail order some and it took three weeks to get a box of 5, 400k BASF disks.
