that sparked a thought in my mind about product performance and price. we
all love that we can get a cheap 19" tv at target (wal mart sucks, but i
got there when i have to), but if we did the math, i bet james would be a
strong contender in the ring for dollars per hour of usage compared to
something one could buy today. now, to make this somewhat
'list-appropriate' one could compare the IBM c3 that can't even read
graffiti anymore versus the newton that can read *my* handwriting and we
have obervational proof of my hypotheosis... if others chime in with
corroborating proof supporting my hypothoesis and i just may have a
full-fledged theory! (these requirements are only from what i *remember*
about from scientific methodology, nothing more!)

I've an RCA Selectavision VCR from 1981! It's as big as thick Mac
II, but it is still alive and kicking. It was originally over a
thousand bucks, but I think that it's been worth it, considering the
amount of use that it's had.
