Cost of a 128KB computer with floppies in 1985
How much would you pay for a PC with 128KB RAM, and no hard disk?
In today's money (inflation adjusted)

Might be right, could have been ega. It was a long time ago and the mind is wobbly.
yea 8086 couldn't drive a vga. 16 preset ugly colors if you're lucky. unless you had a magical amiga with dedicated graphics chips to do 256 colors, 4096 if you're nasty.
Oh those raster hacks and stuff...
Sir, I’ll have you know that I had an IBM PS/2 Model 25 with 256 glorious colors in MCGA. And fuck every developer that didn’t support MCGA, because it dropped down to 4 color CGA if not. No support for EGA.
and i'm sure you learned your valuable lesson :)
Almost certainly not as my next PC was a Gateway 2000.
