Of course you realize all the prices on that page were for universities. The prices they charged businesses was *MUCH* higher. What those prices were I don't know. I was only selling PC's, Dos software and Novell software back then (late 80's early 90's). For that the prices ranged from around a thousand for a single PC with POS software to 10's of thousands of dollars for multiple networked PC's. I don't know, but I bet what we were charging was a pittance compared to the cost of commercial UNIX installations. The last UNIX box I had any part of purchasing was an eight CPU DEC machine that cost around $500,000. But that was around 2002.
