@seriouspony it amazes me how willing people are to predict the future, e.g. teach these young folk the importance of today's fax machines.

@codinghorror
@seriouspony anyways this is largely fixed with iPad. Costs less than a $595 C-64 even in absolute 1984 dollars! Amazing progress.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@seriouspony my point was that the $595 C-64 probably did not have budget for Windham Hill intro jams. Also reached a lot more people.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@seriouspony nobody had *ever* imagined it? Strong words. I agree it was new to computers, but this one would cost $5,500 today. Pretty luxe
