It’s amazing how expensive computers were back in the day. If you browsed Computer Shopper magazine, you would find $5000-$10000 dollars – insane prices – that was back in the 80s – adjusted for inflation it’s just nuts. More like investing in a car.

Heck yeah… I had the HP branded version of this back in the day. When that case styling seemed to be trendy and every OEM is copying it.

Ahh Lexmark, it was cheaper to buy a new printer with the included ink cartridge than it was to buy the cartridge itself.
