You\u2019re familiar with Moore\u2019s law. You know all about the accelerating pace of information technology. Regardless, you\u2019re still amazed at how many gigabytes you can fit in your pocket these days. Remember how your first computer\u2019s entire hard disk only held 20 megabytes? You could accidentally swallow a thousand times as much data now if you weren\u2019t careful.<\/p>\n

But how much did that old hard drive cost? I mean really cost? Our memories get fuzzy on this point, because the buying power of the U.S. dollar has not remained constant over the years. Inflation has decreased the value of the dollar, per dollar, continuously for over a century. That means if you bought an IBM PC for $3,000 in 1981, you were actually spending the equivalent of $7,127.69 in today\u2019s dollars.<\/p>\n

Wait..what? $7,000 for a PC? Does anybody buy a $7,000 PC these days? Does anybody even sell a $7,000 desktop PC now? In our present climate of plentiful sub-$1,000 computers, surely a $7,000 PC must be the most incredible machine ever invented. But for a business-oriented machine in 1981, that sounded cheap.<\/p>\n

To examine this trend, let\u2019s take six classic personal computers from yesteryear\u2013some cheap, some expensive and see what you could buy today for the same price<\/a>.<\/p>\n
