HA!!!! How about 1987 paying $13,000.00 for a Compaq Portable III lunchbox
with 64K of RAM and a 30 meg HD. THEN, $1500.00 to add 192K for a total of
256K and another $1500.00 for a card to display 16 colors onto a composite
monitor... If you think that is something, I could tell you about the
Digital (DEC) Rainbow in 1983. You would need a seatbelt for that story.
