Wow. What a fun 'blast from the past'!
I was about to choke on your description of the $10k IIci but then remembered that our own first Mac -- a II plain and tall -- was a good $3k on an edu discount ca 1989, and that a color monitor would have run us an extra $600 US. And that the 'upgrade' from 1 MB -> 2 MB RAM was more than $100 US several years later (for the kiddies, that's more than the pizza or two that $100 would buy today). I also remember that not long after I played with a Newton at a computer store and thought that I had died and gone to computer heaven. Cost too much, of course, but, after it had been killed off (er, 'steved'), I just had to own one. So I bought a MP 120 (Andrew: did I give/sell this to you??? 'cuz I can't find it...), a 2100 and an emate. They were AND STILL ARE wayyyy cool. Where's that ParallelTime staircase again???
