Delete "clone" from the above sentence to retain any truth at all...

Oh, right.  $5000.  Sure, if you can run with no hard disk...

The prices for the workstations themselves are highly misleading.
Want a 200 MB external SCSI disk?  $1700, please.  A simple DIN-8
to DB25 cable? (required, to make use of either serial port on an
IPC)  That's $40.  Plus tax.

      he talked about the 'Thousand Points of Light'!!!"
