I was also thinking about the prices and what problems they were being used for to motivate the investment.

It then occurred to me that loaded Mac Studios and DGX Stations have some comparability in CAPEX scale. Here are some other prices for example:

> The VT278 started at $6,795 [$23,700].”

> This was sold as the DECmate III+ for $5145 [$15,400] alongside the standard III.

> The VAXmate finally hit the market in September 1986 starting at $4045 [$12,100].

> For the back end DEC announced a turn-key MicroVAX II system with 5MB of RAM, Ethernet, 16 ports and a 30-seat ALL-IN-1 plus WPS wordprocessing starting at $81,160 [$243,000].
