Community Memory: Discussion List on the History of Cyberspace ______________________________________________________________________
Greetings. So, you feel like you're paying too much for that new PC with the fast cache and subwoofer speaker system? Can't scrape up enough for another 32 meg of memory? Need one more 9 gig disk and don't know where the bucks will be coming from?
Is that what's bothering you, bunky?
Well, just to help put things into something of a retrospective perspective, you can take a look at the price sheet for the DEC PDP-6 and peripherals, circa 1964. Be sure to pick up another 16K of core memory while you're there. Get your checkbook ready!
