My first home computer in the 1990s was well over $6k in current inflation adjusted USD and had a 12 mhz CPU with a 800x600 (or lower, can't remember) 14" CRT screen, a dot matrix printer and two games. At $200 this computer is coming in at couple of days or a maybe one week worth of post-tax salary at some of the lowest wages in many first world countries[1]. And it has a 1.5gighz processor and access to an advanced unix operating system and open source (rather than the limiting DOS for example). [1] envelope calculations: it seems it takes under two days after-tax with 19.5k pound UK salary (the average for someone with one year of work experience). Edit: I should add that most of a low income salary usually goes on rent, food and transport so the disposable income calculation to reach $200 is different/takes longer. Nevertheless, an amazing reduction in price, 1/30th, and increase in processing power, 100x + (mhz for mhz..).
