Lol.
Our first computer, a 286, cost us $2000. We financed it.
Helped my wife study for college. I used it for video games and programming. :)
Caught flack from the guys at work (at DEC). They were convinced that I was a fool. “Why would anyone want a computer in their home.”

“Why would anyone want a computer in their home.” That was the very smell of death! Behind the 8-ball, not running in front! Very scary and wearying to run in front but it is doom and the grave to run behind!
Now we ask just how much computer and memory do you want in your pocket? I got my first 'smart phone' last month, the iP6, and am amazed at its ability, especially in the connected universe! What will I see before I die if I live to my fathers age. It will be at least 3 more generations! WOW!

The real question then was "Why would anyone want a DecMate in his home?" [The Rainbow was actually somewhat usable, if immovable]
