[X4U] Price of the mini

[Mark Des Cotes]

It's pretty amazing when you consider what you get for $499. Especially 
when you look at the price of computers over the last 20 years. I 
recently found a bunch of old invoices for old computers we've 
purchased over the years.

Prices are in Canadian dollars
Dual 1.0 GHz G4 $4644.00  Feb 2002
PowerMac G3 Desktop 266MHz $3259.00 Feb 1998
PowerMac G3 Tower 300MHz $4259.00 Nov 1997
Powermac 9500/132MHz $7299 Feb 1996
Quadra 950 $8059.00 Dec 1992
LCIII $3299.00 May 1992

All of these came with a mouse and keyboard only. Monitors were extra.

And now for $499.00 (USD) I can get a computer that can outperform all 
of them.

Makes you wonder what the price will be 10 years from now?
