- 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.
-
- Oh, jeez -- if we're going to start whining, how about my Heathkit H89
- that I paid $2000 for! Z80, CP/M, 16k RAM, 80k floppy, AND I EVEN HAD
- TO PUT IT TOGETHER!
-
- A little later, I added a second 80k floppy for $400!
-
- A year or two later, I put together a 4MB hard disk project that set
- me back another $2000!
-
- And I'm sure there are others who can top this, so quit your
- snivelling and whining and get back to work!

- (Oh, I almost for got the :-)
