$20,000 for a digital camera?! (OK, fine, a digital camera *system*.) I’d bet that the digital camera price gap between then and now has got to be the biggest for any technology ever. I don’t remember when PCs first came onto the market, so they might eclipse it, but still . . . .

Love the series, and the scraps of insight like the Drudge piece, and the prices like the $20,000 digital camera.
