    The numbers are what really grab you, though. $1,298 for a 4K Apple II,
    and if you want to move up the memory ladder, the price gets serious in a hurry.

    The topic is a bit misleading, since the supporting documents list 4K of
    RAM for $100, just slightly more than I paid in 1981.

    The real kicker is the (system) -(board) price delta. That?s quite a chunk
    of change for a case, keyboard, and power supply!
