In 1995, I started replacing the WYSE VT-100 terminals at my small workplace with Pentium desktops, in order to prepare for the switch to client-server in the next ERP version. They averaged fron $2700/ea ($5100 today) data entry models, to $3500 for mine, to $5200 ($9800 today) for the mechanical engineering system. (I still have my notes.)

Our high-end Mac IIci setups were $8000 each.

So easy to forget these mind-boggling prices, as they were usual and customary (for that level) at the time.
