I worked as a lab assistant in the Pychology department at the University of California at San Diego from 1974 to 1976. The lab I worked in had a PDP-8 minicomputer. While I was there they added a 32K word hard drive for $5000, and upgraded the core memory from 6K bytes to 12K bytes for another $5000. I sometimes think about what I could get nowadays with $10,000.
