I just paid $4000 for a color Mac II with 2 meg of memory, and another $1000
or so for a 100 meg drive. And yes, I too paid $1050 for a 128k Mac. And $400
for a single sided drive so I could use it. And another $400 or so for a
printer. About $2000 total. So, compare what you got then for $2000 and what
you get now for $5000. I'm still not convinced it's such a bad deal.
