Oh this is fun!
How about paying just over $1200 for a Sanyo MBC-555 in 1984 (when the IBM PC
was going for 3-4 times that.) It had MS-DOS "compatibility", 2 - 180K floppy
drives, 64K memory, proprietary video, and other limitations. I put in a hard
drive with an add-in board that cost over $200. And I modified the heck out of
it. Such fun.
Then last year I bought a second one on eBay (and actually a slightly better
one) for -----
-------- $1.00 ------- just to say that I had. The "new" one joined the old
one in a box for my later years when I loose almost all memory of Windows, etc.
A play toy for the mentally aged. They are a pretty silver and should keep me
riveted. I probably won't notice my drool!
