Things I learned from Playboy 1978

I have a few old ones around here someplace too. It's funny to see how times have changed isn't it?

Apple II $1195 ??? Isn't that what a MacBook costs now?

in some areas, the general price point has not changed for a long time, you just keep getting more and more bang for the buck

I was surprised by that too. I had always heard computers back then cost around $5000

If that were true though it would have cost about the same as a Chrysler Le Baron. lol

What's really interesting is to see how large the gap has grown between computer and car prices. Mind you these are American prices. I remember cars were always more expensive up here in Canada.
