    Today you can buy a budget pc, and skim on performance, but back then (and I was there man!) you could not.

    For PCs? Maybe not, but you could get plenty of other types of home computer for reasonably cheap. A Commodore 64 was $150 in 1985, for instance. Just had to stay away from the absolute bleeding edge.
