Long, LONG ago, I wrote a little program to predict hard drive prices. It worked well for a few years, and needed some tweaks, but was quite the conversation starter. I looked through the oldest hard drive ads I could find, and extrapolated. I added a factor for a "base price" because nothing below that number would be a viable retail product.
I just found the DOS version hosted at the Internet Archive[1]
Here's a later Javscript version[2]
It was good for a while, but eventually it wasn't optimistic enough.
