A purchase cost including 15" or larger high resolution monitor of under $700.
As long as I can buy a fully functional PC that can be configured to meet
my needs and reconfigured\repurposed as those needs change for under $2K
paying $1K and above for a fancy dumb terminal is penny wise but pound
foolish (as my grandmother would say).
Have we so soon forgotten why the -Personal- Computer was developed in the
first place----???
