FUN TECHIE FACTS

[en] The price of microcomputers in the early 80' was between GBP 125 (nearly 500 of today), the ZX Zpectrum 16 KB (1982), and USD 16.595 (nearly 50.000 of today), the Xerox Star (1981).

However, Xerox Star should be interpreted as a deviation. Te normalized upper cap should be placed around USD 2.500 (kind of 7.000 od today), the price of Apple Macintosh (1984).
