In 1908 Henry Ford charged $825 for a T-Model. By 1916 the price had dropped to $360 although he sold EVERY one he built!
Are those 'A1 Price Wingers' of the opinion that FORD was "gouging" the American motorists $465 in 1908?
I have an Australian Amiga price list from 1985...... the 1000 (A1000) heads the list at $3500.
The (A)1010 External 3.5" 880k ds/dd drive is number three on the list at $850.
The (A)1050 256k RAM expansion cartridge is $575.
The 1985 Amiga Pioneers bought their 'kit' inspite of THOSE prices. Without their committment the Amiga would have never outlasted 1987!
Amiga Diehards are growing extremely tired of the 'A1 Price Wingers' and the 'x86 Droolers'...... maybe arstechnica is YOUR kind of place?
