mountaintree16 Posted August 3, 2010 ID:294765 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Thanks for sharing this It's neat to go and look at the old advertisements. Hehe the Sharp laptop ad is pretty cool We had some pretttyyy old Macs in school, and the oldest computer we had using at home that went online was Windows 95.

ShyWriter Posted August 3, 2010 ID:294829 Share Posted August 3, 2010 I have a premium copy in excellent/like-new condition of ROM magazine Volume 1, Number 1, from July, 1977 with all tear-out/loose advertising cards intact. It has a 2-page color advertisement for the SOL SYSTEM I for $1649 (as a kit), and those are 1977 dollars, as well as a SOL SYSTEM III with 32K of memory, Sol-20/BASIC, Monitor (monochrome), HELIOS II Disk Memory System and BASIC diskette for $4237 in kit form; again 1977 dollars - equal to around $19,000 today.Also includes a 2-page, centerfold, color advertisement for the NEW Intel "superfast" 8085 CHIP..And articles written by the early pioneers of the "PC" community.. (PC does not equal "politically correct" - a word NOT in the 1977 dictionaries )~ShyMy first Apple //e (not my first computer which was a TI/94A) with a 80 column card, 1 mhz CPU, 256K memory card, 2 floppy disks, a 300 baud modem and a monochrome display set me back $4500 (in 1982 dollars). A later SIDER 10 meg (not gig) SCSI HD was another $800. It ran a BBS called The RainForest BBS from 1982 thru 1990, eventually with a SysOp special 9.6/19.2Kbaud Hayes modem. ahhhh; the memories.. :lol: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShyWriter Posted August 3, 2010 ID:294898 Share Posted August 3, 2010 ShyWriter: Do you still have that Apple intact (an antique fortune )?My wife made me give them all to Goodwill (Apple ][ (2), Apple ][+ (1) and Apple //e (1) ) along with a bunch of other computer stuff in 1995 (to clean up my "office and storeroom") and I've hit my head against the wall several times a day since. I think I could get some nice $$ on eBay for them. I also had original copies of docs and floppies in original vinyl cases for a lot of Apple software including a primo, original version, complete copy of Visicalc, with documentation. :lol: Water under the bridge... *sigh*Wa'cha gonna do?~Shy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
