minus-squaremarv99@feddit.deOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·edit-21 year agoHere you can take a look at the NeXTstation brochure, it is mentioning your price of $5,000 on the last page. Do you by any chance know what around the same time the costs for a “normal” PC was? Just to get an idea about the difference.
minus-squareJordan Lund@lemmy.onelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·1 year agoI was rocking a $600 Amiga 500. :) The Macintosh SE/30 was the year before at $4,400 ($4,900 with a hard drive). PC prices were $1,000 to $2,000.
minus-squaremarv99@feddit.deOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·edit-21 year agoThanks alot for the details. Very interesting, I did not know that the Mac SE/30 and the (cheapest) NeXTstation had comparable prices. What I knew (for here in Germany) was that PCs were expensive (compared to today), but much cheaper than the Macs and NeXTs.
