I spent $4,500 on a G3 + 17" monitor in '98... it was an amazing machine :)


I spent $3,899 on a Macintosh SE in 1987. ($8,000 in today's dollars).

It was a lot slower.


$3,400 on IIsi in 1991... one of the first 'affordable' color Macs. That was an amazing machine and I still remember the magic.


$2500 on an Apple //e in 1983. Monochrome screen, 1 floppy drive. No printer, no modem, no 80 column card.


$2699 on a 1GHz G4 Powerbook in 2003. Didn't even have a DVD recordable, had to shell out another $300 for a firewire one and another $300 for 256MB more memory.
