Those are antiques now so the might cost a lot as well
It's crazy how Computers have changed over the years !
I guess people who have used PC's from the old era would be able to appreciate the current Computers in a completely different level.
The old computers from my childhood still boots faster than any modern OS 😎

Psh, $5700 and they don't even come with a 4090.
Seriously, though, it's no wonder why businesses had most of computers in the 80s; these companies were ripping people the hell off and getting away with it. Nearly $6 grand and you don't even get a hard drive, nor a reasonable amount of RAM. Give me a fucking break.
