The advertisement that you see above is from CompUSA … from the year 1994! Just when you feel like you are busting the bank to get that $600 laptop, think about how bad it was 12 years ago just to get a little portability. Just browsing through the advertisement is quite an amusement especially when you get to the page with the $60 two-button mouse! Here are some of the other ‘deals’ in the ad that should not go unmentioned
- $600 1GB Hard Drive
- $280 28.8Kbps Modem
- $480 Soundblaster 16 Sound Card
- $100 Mac Extended Keyboard
- $400 270MB External Hard Drive
- $200 4MB Memory Upgrade
Oh yeah, and make sure that you don’t forget about those Packard Bell computers!

Amazing how far technology has come!!! 200 bucks for a 4MB Memory Upgrade . . Yike!
Actually, the mouse was the real kicker for me.
