  $500 computer is a "budget" computer these days? Hehe :)

Sure is.
In 1981, IBM's original PC 5150 debuted at $2,880 for a 64K system with one floppy drive.  In today's dollars, that would be a shade over $10K.
Back in that era, PC Magazine's editor Bill Machrone quipped:
"the computer you want always costs $5,000."
And 1984's price buster of the TI-99/4A started at $525.  What percentage of your gross monthly pay was $525 back in 1984?
Don't know about you, but for me, it would've been around 33%.
