That would equal around $900 in today's money, so still not cheap, but within reason for a middle class pocketbook. It's worth remembering, though, that $131 was considerably cheaper than the US retail price. You can estimate the effect of inflation here: http://www.westegg.com/inflation/infl.cgi I still have the M2 and an M3 I bought around the same time. Both still work fine. Pretty inexpensive on a per annum basis. -- Phil Swango 307 Aliso Dr SE Albuquerque, NM 87108 505-262-4085
