Awesome.
I had an Intellivision as a kid, while my Dad hacked away on his Timex Sinclair 1000 personal computer.
Those were the days … *sigh*

10 MB Hard Disk $3,495
It’s good to keep that in perspective when I’m tempted to complain about how expensive the iPad is.
Eric Dye says
Especially when you factor in inflation!!!
Jared Erickson says
That computer shown above for $8,499 in 1989 would be $15,231.12 in 2010 if you factor inflation! wowzers..

Imagine hearing this from your wife:
“Hey, Honey! I was going to buy you a new car, but thought you would like the Tandy 5000, instead!”
Brian Notess says
So I guess I’m buying in iPad 😉
Jared Erickson says
makes sense to me!
Mark says
Does this then mean that, with inflation, Apple will actually pay me to have an iPad in a few years time?

I would need 262,144 of the 16 kb ram chips to power my MacBook Pro with 4gb of Ram and that would cost me about $130,000,000.00
