    4 dx processor
    2 MB ram
    5 1/4 and 3 1/2 floppy drives
    200 m hard disk
    plus extra 6 MB ram (£222.00)

    Total cost £2007.00 plus vat

  2. You want to try selling the things:

    Same (or more) time spent with customer. Same tidal wave of questions before and after purchase.

    About 1/10 of the profit margin of the early 90s.
     
  3. That will be right at the top of the basket of goods for calculating inflation then :wink:

    Most of our day to day shopping is done by Mrs v but the other day I picked up a few things from a supermarket and was shocked at just how expensive the most basic of things are.
