Pertaining to your flame that
"You can expect to spend at least $15k for a system with all the
requisite bit
planes, local intelligence, resolution monitor, etc., and that doesn't
include the main processor.  If you want such a system, don't expect it
an a machine that sells for under $5k for a while"

There is a NEC machine, I believe it is called the PC-100 that has a
color screen resolution of 720x512.  The color selection is any sixteen
colors out of a total palet of 512 colors!  It uses an 8086 micro and
supposedly is PC-Dos compatable.  There is even a mouse used on the
machine.  The price for this machine is about $3300, and that includes
the monitor.  Of course you can get the monochrome version for about
$700 less.

I found out about this machine by reading InfoWorld.  There is small
section in there stating that Woz (of Apple) was in Japan, late last
year, looking the thing over.
