[Elecraft] Computers in the Stone Age

"Computers in the Stone Age":  I wonder what Fred Flintstone's computer 
looked like?  :=)

It's interesting that the latest, greatest, bleeding-edge PC always 
seems to cost about $4000-$5000.  Then a year later you can buy the same 
thing for $1000.  And a couple years after that it goes on the scrap 
heap because it no longer has enough memory / hard disc space / 
processor speed to run current software.
