Heh. Since this thread began I've been constantly thinking of a vivid memory I have of reading a computer magazine in the 80s. It was full of articles and ads about and for "home computers" as they were back then and I would pore over them considering their pros and cons. Then there was an article entitled "Dream Machine" all about the Apple Mac. It was retailing IIRC for ~£2000 when the other machines featured were in the £200-£400 range. The tone of the article was "look we know most of us can't afford this but look how cool it is".
