I'm not even stunned by the price. The first computer they purchased for me at work, especially build to be able to handle PowerCAD 1 (a great autocad clone around 1990 or so, far more powerful then autocad was at that time), was around that price also. It was the i486DX  running at 33Mhz. The complete setup (with 20inch monitor and some other extra's) was over $20,000 at that time.

I recal buying my first computer half a year before that, a 286 16Mhz, really fast for it's time and one I could afford (386's weren't really affordable at that time) costs over $3,000 at the time.

Now you get a very decent pc for well under $1000.

The price doesn't suprise me, it's just back to the old days when the desicion was buy a new car or a new computer.....
