That's a good point.

I do remember that the very first were even more expensive than Macs
are today, even without taking inflation into consideration.  I read
a while ago that the first, or first generation, IBM PC was in the
price range of thousands of dollars (thus similar to that of a new
car, or a VAXstation at introduction).

Though, I must admit, I don't remember those days too well; I was
still very young back then, after all.  Were IBM PCs hyped in the
same way as Apple Macs are today?
