Computing power has gotten incredibly cheap in recent years in terms of speed & capacity for your money.

I've just bought two old Heath/Zenith CP/M computers on eBay. For those unfamiliar with these, they are Z80-based, 64KB (yes 64K, not 64 MEG!) RAM and twin 5-1/4" floppy drives. The list price back in 1979 was around the $2500 mark! If you wanted a hard disk, it would set you back another four-figure sum. Just think of how much computing power that same amount would buy today, and then allow for 24 years' worth of inflation! [Linked Image]
