It’s an obnoxious twist. From 2,000.00 dollar machines in the early 90s, to 200.00 ones in 2005, and now back to expensive.
But thankfully I can get good machines used and piece together whatever I need from home.
These new machines from both Apple And MS are utterly absurd in their prices, but they are more “pro-sumer” devices, so they weren’t designed for cheap-Os like me.
