An Apple II in 1977 with 48k RAM was $2,638.00. 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...

I'm thinking it would cost a few hundred thousand, be the size of a small apartmenrt, and be used by the government as a supercomputer.

I still have a IIfx with an 80mb hard drive, 128mb of RAM and an 8*24GC video card.
It still runs AU/X and is in occasional use. :D
