I can't even wrap my head around some of these prices... One of those pages for "February 1986" has an ad for "diskettes" box of 10 priced between $1195 and $2995. Are these what I think they are, regular floppy disks for almost $300 each?
Edit: that must have been a typo, I see prices in the same issue of about $1/disk.
- TedDoesntTalk 3y agoI saw that, too. They are missing a decimal point. 11.95 and 29.95.
- lucas_membrane 3y agoIIRC $300 each was 1 GB zip disks in the middle 1990's.
- henrikschroder 3y agoI got an Atari STE in 1988, it used double-sided regular density 3.5" disks, with a capability of 720kB each, and back then it was a bargain to find no-name ones for ~$1, while the quality name-brand ones (Verbatim! Maxell!) cost about the double.
