In 1995 my parents, both factory workers, bought me a $2500 Packard Bell PC with 100MHz Pentium, 8MB of RAM, and a 1GB hard drive. Adjusted for inflation that would be a $5,283.95 computer today.


I remember that exact model. Computers use to be very expensive. You can pick up a brand new powerful laptop to build a career on for $300 at Target. (I’m in the US I know many commenters here are not)
