Toby,
Man, your dad got taken if he paid $2200. I remember buying one, during the
first year they were out, and the price started at $499, and gradually droped
to
around $200. I still have both the orginal, and the 'portable' version sx-64
(weighed about 40lbs, with a 5' color monitor,paid $500 on sale in '84). In any
case, I should pull them out of the closet this weekend and fire them up.:-)
