Jealous eh....:D

That gorgeous, sleek "fight them off with a shitty stick" nerd magnet is what passed for cutting edge technolgy in 1989.

20mhz processor, think of the possibilities!! :eek:

With a Lightning-fast 20MHz, how could you go wrong?

Big step, 18 years from then and we have computers that do trillions of operations a SECOND. even though not desktop, imagine what will happen in next 18 years :O i cant wait

You bet it does, I got it to 100MHz now PageMaker opens up crazy fast.

That's almost as good as the 15MB hard drive that was selling for $2,500.

This could be auctioned off as an antique for tens of thousands, assuming it's rare enough.

If I were an antique collector, I might bid $15 000 on that.

Wow! I'm so jealous! Why can't I have a computer like that? It just isn't fair!

How much would you bid on this older computing machine:

1970's Pong machine that still works. My dad received it for his 13th birthday back in 1973.

I guess $55.00? That should be a worthy price on eBay. lol

This reminds me of the 2 gig SCSI hard drive that my mom bought back in the early 90's for $500. And the 2X CD-RW drive my mom got back when they were $500.

Considering what I turned out to be in 18 years, we can't look forward to much.

Wow, the price is wacked, $8499.00? I can build a top of the line rif for half that now-a-days, I didn't think that stuff went down that much for computers o_O. Btw, my commadore 64 pwns it.

That price would be well over 10 grand including the taxes, here in Canada. :lol: Considering I paid 4 for my XPS, that's just insane!

But this was cutting edge, top of the line back then too.

Not to mention the slight amount higher it would be worth back then too. I think my dad paid 2000$ for a 386 or something when he was younger.

Can you imagine what we'll be saying about our current computers 20 years from now? I doubt it'd be much different from what's being said here. :p
