and, to the point of my question, who gives a fluff what computers cost twenty five years ago.

you could also question my realizing at the time that a 1950's computer was a lot bigger than a 1986 computer, and would not have taken up the main floor of his house.

thanks!

edit
i might understand the reading comprehension aspect!

you mean you went to the website, and tweaked around and created a 14k laptop.. not went out and bought yourself a 14k dollar laptop?

thanks?
