That model was a little too high-end for my budget. I only paid $3500 for my 25Mhz 386 clone :) . With the money I saved, I put another $200 into a math co-processor and another $500 into a 9600 baud modem. Was that a bargain or what!

Such a deal! :)

gary -- thanks for the link; I couldn't afford that baby at the time, but I paid about $2000 for an Apple IIe (64k RAM) and had to pay extra for the external floppy disk drive. I was estatically happy to bring that little package home. :)

For a mere $8499. you got all that except the Monitor and Mouse were not included. Can you believe it? I bet the monitor and mouse ran you another $2000. I think we owned that one. :D

Is it my imagination or is this actually one of the few things on earth were you actually get more and pay less as time goes on? :D

I was one of the fortunate people who waited for the technology to improve by leaps and bounds above the 386.

I snagged a "good deal" on a brand new IBM 486SX/25. This computing demon came loaded with a HUGE 540 mb hard drive and an unheard of 4 mb of RAM. I also had the old standby 5 1/4 inch floppy to accompany that newfangled 3 1/2 inch floppy.

All that for the meager pittance of $3,499.00.

You all may now bow in envy! :)
