Hi Everyone!
I know this is a bit of a personal question, so please feel free to ignore
this email!
If you're willing to answer it would also be interesting to know what drove
you to spend as much as you did on that particular computer?
For me, the most I've spent on a single computer is $2,000 for a Rev 0
Apple II around 3 years ago, I spent that much because I had wanted an
original Apple II for so long (not plus or E) and this one was so clean and
perfect! I cannot think of a time when I will sell it!
Can't wait to hear your answers :) :)

AUD $25,000 for a Linotype L100 PostScript imagesetter (used).
Has a 68K computer inside it with Adobe ROMs. Communication via serial
or AppleTalk.
One of the first high resolution PostScript imagesetters. Put a lot of
feet of bromide paper through it.
The machine itself is actually available in Sydney NSW Australia for
anyone who would like to preserve it.
