What's important to note is how much $200, $300, or $2600 in 1977 would buy

In 1980 I moved into a Commodore Pet with a single IEEE Floppy drive, this
was like heaven, A
nice clear green 9 inch monochrome monitor, no more cassette tapes, 32K
RAM, what more could a
person want.. Well OK, add a Printer another $700.00, and a 300 baud modem
$200.00.. And at
about $2600.00 I had a dream machine.. Phil...
