While clearing the triple peaks of old papers from my desk over the
weekend I came across a faxed quote from the late lamented dan
technology plc for P133 system, dating from October 1995.

I think I changed the spec a little between the quote and buying the
system, but I'm horrified to see that I was prepared to pay something
of the order of £4288.75 for PC. My latest (homebuilt) system cost less
than the VAT from that quote!

My first 5 1/4" floppy drive cost £500.
