Hey, what are you... 14? <grin> I'm 29.

My Apple II Plus (whopping 64KB RAM after expansion), with two floppies and the green screen, went for $4,200 in October 1982.

My IBM PS/2 Model 30 (286 is all I remember) was about $3,000 in September 1987.

My first notebook, a Compaq LTE (386/25, 12MB RAM, 120MB drive, 14.4Kbps modem, passive gray-scale) was about $6,000 in 1991 (?).
