The price is interesting. Just under $2000. About what a good home system costs now. After inflation. After a vast expansion of computing power. Just about $2000 for a good home system.

I know cheaper is out there.

I bought my first home computer in January 1990. The whole shebang, including printer and software cost about $3k. Took out a “computer loan” from the credit union at 10%.

20MHz processor, 512KB or 1MB RAM, 48MB HD, VGA monitor, dot matrix printer, WordPerfect, DOS 3.x. It was just-behind-cutting-edge at the time.
