Just a couple of stray thoughts. While a person could
possibly have
purchased a $300 computer in the 50's, why would they? What could they
have done with it? The answer is almost nothing. The only people who
might have been interested would have been ham radio or electronics
hobbysists, and they would very likely have built there own. I don't
even believe there was a viable used market for low cost computers in
the 50's, they would all have been enormous mainframes.
Where is the difference to the 70s and 80s ?
