One would think IBM could sell lot of these at $2500 a copy.

I had one of those IBM PCs back in my college days during the late 80s. A big upgrade over my previous Commodore 64. hee hee That machine had a hard drive if I remember right around 20 MB of storage. :0

Is that the PS2?

I had one of those in 1989. It retailed for $4100, but I got a university discount. Paid $2500, software included and an extra large 40MB hard disk. I also upgraded to 1 MB RAM, the most you could get. It had one wait cycle.

It was a WWII tank. Incredibly slow, quickly outdated, but indestructible.
