It's interesting, though, that throughout the life

its cost has always been around $1,500.00. I'm talking about the cost of
the averagely configured machine for home use. As technology progresses,
That's if you're talking IBMs, Apples, etc. There are plenty examples of
cheap, home computers for less than $500 such as atari 800's, Commodore
64's, etc. Of course, some would argue that, compared to IBM's and
Apples, those aren't "real" computers.
