| Do you long for the days when a 128K machine cost $2000 - 2500?  This is not
| to disparage the efforts of those people, but simply to point out that all
| was not perfect back in 1984.

In 1984, I paid $1050 for a 128K Mac; so did lots of other people.  I would
bet that the majority of people who bought a Mac in 1984 got it for less
than half the retail price.

Do you regret posting yet, Larry? :-)
