I would have to say product value has improved a bit.

In adjusted 2007 dollars that $2,638 Apple II computer would cost $9,810... that makes the new $2,799 Mac Pro quite a bargain!

And that Mac IIFX, which sold for $10,970 in 1990, would sell for $17,786 in 2007 dollars.

If the Mac Pro were sold in 1977, its adjusted price (using 2006 dollars) would be $818.12. That is really inexpensive...

:’) The Apple II was a great value in 1977.
