That's about 3800 bucks in today's money.
Pretty crazy how far things have come.

That's like the newest MacBook pro, with the newest iPhone and Apple watch, and you might have to skip out on the Apple T.V.

Or a single gaming PC with a 4090.

I thought PCs were closer to $8000 in 1980s money. This is considably cheaper than I thought it was. My current PC cost more than $3800, thanks to out of control GPU pricing.
