Doommaster, your opinions are noted. But, don't try to pass off your personal feelings as fact. "In general", process improvements and technological advancements create better products. Can you show me a car from the 50s or 60s that gets 60 MPG? How about one that doesn't polute the environment even?
Anyway, back on topic. I wish this auction was around when I bought my 040. I think I paid $300 for the CPU alone. :-o
