Ah the good old days. Your memory wasn't that bad. Mine costs about $100 a k. (even mini computers usually only had 4k)You probably won't believe this but my first system set me back about $8-$9,000 and that isn't allowing for inflation. Probably worth about $5 today as a curiosity if I could find a sucker. In some ways it does seem like it was more fun back then but it's a lot easier today. I think I prefer it this way. ps. remember when we thought a 50k program was really, really huge? LOL! A curious coincidence side note. Way back then I once gave a public lecture in Ottawa, Canada, on computer bulletin board systems. The speaker before me was introducing a new desk top publishing system. I don't recall the name but the company later evolved into Corel, the owner's of Bryce.
