Dell Computer Catalog from 1987.

That $4,299 machine would cost $7,500 today, the $8,630 machine would be $13,450 - Yike!!!

I used a calculator at this web site to figure the prices - http://www.buyupside.com/calculators/purchasepowerjan08.htm

That $599.95 40 meg hard drive would cost $1,204.13 or $30.10 per meg X 1024 to give us $30,825 per gig in todays money.

That means for a terabyte of storage in 1987 we would have paid the equivelant $31,562,137.60 in today's money.
