Mass Data Storage from less than £1,000

Keeping up with a tradition almost as old as advertising itself, the price shown isn't quite the price you pay as it doesn't include VAT or shipping, but it's still interesting that the magic number of £1,000 was a significant barrier to cross and worth shouting about.

So for [[1150|1983]] in [[now]] money, you could buy a 5MB hard disk that looks more like a microwave oven than anything else. 

At [[230|1983]] a megabyte (in [[now]] terms), a 2TB drive would cost an implausible [[471|1983]] <i>million</i> if cost per megabyte hadn't fallen somewhat in the intervening three decades.
