Imagine coding with this
 

Hell, that's far more modern than my original, home-built personal PC.

Chisel and a slab of granite? ;)

My first pc was a Tandy 1000, unless you consider atari a pc.

It's amazing to see how far we come, in a little over 2 decades. Especially the prices.

My grand parents have a TANDY!!! Thats badass...

With the 'new for 89' tag, it's closer to three decades, but yeah, it's pretty impressive that the technology has advanced so much. Pity the average user just seems to get stupider as time goes on, though.
I'm not sure, but I'd imagine that's in some other currency than US or Canadian dollars, because even in 1989, computers weren't that expensive.

Yes, they were that expensive, with 2 MB of RAM. In that year I paid over $5000 for a PC's Limited (Dell) 386-16 with ONE Mb of RAM. Depending on form factor, memory could run as much as $400 per Mb. The size of the HD (not mentioned) would also severely impact the price in that timeframe, as would the VGA graphics. Further, PageMaker was an expensive document processor (not the same thing as a word processor).

I paid 2500 for my 1000. I don't know the specs, but it was a lot slower than the 5000 i'm sure.

The Tandy 1000 was a not-quite-compatible IBM clone with 128 K memory (expandable to 640K). Graphics were EGA. It had no hard drive, and cost, originally, $1000.

Various later models, identified with suffixes like EX, HD, etc., added additional capabilities, at higher prices. These models lasted long enough to move from the 8088 to the 80286, and reached clock speeds of 10 Mhz.
