How much would you pay for a PC with 128KB RAM, and no hard disk?

In today’s money (inflation adjusted)

This an ad from Personal Computer World (UK) from 1985

My Dragon 32 or 64 (can’t remember which it was) has a lot to answer for too!

Whole bunch of low cost 8-bit machines in that era, the Dragon 32, Commodore 64 and Amstrad CPC ranges to name but a few. Of course we must also mention the BBC Micro, was not low cost but every school had one if you grew up in the UK.

We had one in my school in Ireland too (and I think they were common in schools here) but tbh none of the teachers knew how to use it and so we got very little time on it in school.
