It had 20K of memory and I paid $299 for it. Used a tape drive at first but later splurged and got a a disc-drive that used 5-plus inch floppies for $600. Eventually I splurged and got a dot-matrix printer (without true-descenders) for another $600. Oh and I hooked it up to a TV. I had just as much fun with it as I do with my flat-screen Mac too.
