Time Warp Computer Pricing Revealed

Agg writes "OCAU has posted an article which shows just how much computer pricing has changed over the last 20 years or so. During a 24-hour period I asked OCAU readers to scan and send me an ad page from the oldest Australian computer magazine they could find. This snapshot of historical pricing is fascinating and, quite frankly, a little scary. How does $5999 for an 8.6MB hard drive strike you? For reference, 1 Australian Dollar is worth 70 to 80 US cents."

You mean $150,000,000,000. You forgot to factor in inflation of the US Dollar resulting from the disasters of the Bush Presidency in 2000-2004, then the Stratosphere wars of the Bush III presidency from 2016-2020. Also, displays are made from plastic, which is made from oil, which is gone.
