I love that you had to pay only $495 extra for the installation kit!

And to think that you could fit the entire contents of that HDD on a single rewriteable CD.....

49 times over.

A firm I used to work for in Vegas bought a summagraphics computer system with a desk size digitizing table, separate concrete-lined hard drive (so you couldn't move it accidnetly)a single 14" BW monitor and other accesories that would fill a room. It had a whopping 256 M on the hard drive and perhaps a 1/2 meg of ram.

Price. . ..$120,000. We replaced it in 1990 with a 386 desktop that cost about $3000, and ended up dropping the $120K system off a cliff in the desert. (not really--but it ended up becoming the most expensive door stop in history)

Thanks for the link, that's actually pretty darn cool. I like the post-it notes idea.
