Yep, my first own computer was an Atari ST plus 20MB hard disk (probably the same setup as described in the article). IIRC it was 1800 DM for the computer and the disk each, i.e. ˜1800 Euro total in todays money or ˜3600 Euro total when adjusted for inflation. The positive side is: I can justify that it is reasonable to still spend that amount today.
