Ah, those were the days.  heh.  Had to look these up...

In 1992, I paid $2,795 for my Mac IIci 5/0 and cache card.

then I forked out another $549 for 16 MB RAM.

then I coughed $999 for a whopping big 200 MB HD.

And don't forget the $749 for the AppleColor Hi-Res 13" RGB Monitor.

A month later, I bought a used Apple Macintosh II High-Resolution 
Video (TOBY) Card...
