A Sony HDTV cost $8000 in 1999

shite I remember when “flat screen” tube tv’s came out. My 32” Sony weighed like 550 lbs

I wanted a Wega Trinitron so bad.

Now Sony is dead.

I remember sending two of my guys to pick up a 50" plasma from the gateway store in 04 for our owners wife as a gift for our owner. It was over 5k.

He got pissed because it was only 50"

I bought my first HDTV in 2001, it was a Mitsubishi 65" rear projection and ran right at $5k.

My first PC cost an arm, and a leg, in 1994. Back when everyone else still had Pentium 75 MHz processors, I bought the Pentium 100 MHz. I paid $1500 for it. A year later, the Pentium 120 MHz came out. It was cheaper than my 100.

ETA: The first 20 inch regular TV I bought, was over $350. Bought a 32" HDTV for less than $300 two or three years ago.

My parents paid over $200 for an HP calculator in the 70's when my brother was in Civil Engineering at LSU.

That’s nothing, you should see how expensive a bitcoin was when I bought one.

If only the govt would have gotten involved it would have been cheaper.
