Herbvic; The parts count and direct assembly was about $300, plus optional RAM. Add on overhead, R & D and a cost of $1000 could pop out. That is what volume and automated production will do. Bear in mind that a black and white monitor was $32, an injection molded case $8, floppy drive $50. The only expensive parts were CPU and RAM. I was referring to the clone IBM competition. The IBM was premium priced and the two would have shared OK with no IBM clones. Apple had many lost chances due to Scully. Bang Bill
