"When the original Macintosh was introduced in 1984, it was $2,500. Today it is worth about $15... If you had spent that $2,500 on Apple stock instead of a computer, you would have seen it increase to a high of $3,147,743.75 in the glory days of the Mac. Today, that same stock would be worth about $15. "
