My first computer cost $1,500 and that was with an employee discount. My neigbor took me in posing as my Dad. It was a PCJr with 512k ram (I upgraded from the standard 256k ram) and no hard drive. I learned to program cobol on that sucker, had to swap my program floppy, then the floppy with the code on it to compile it, lol.

Just think what even $1,500 can get you now. I remember PDP 11/70's with no monitors in college, and even puch cards, which we had to do 1 program with just to show what the OLD technology was like.
