BTW, my Apple II+ cost about $2,200 in 1981. That would be about $6,185 in today’s dollars.
If I recall correctly, my Apple IIe cost about the same in 1983. Yea, computers were expensive back then.

For a while, you had to have a Lisa to program on the Mac, so that may have inflated the numbers a bit.
