I could make whole Christmas lists out of one of these ads. Granted, I had a Commodore 64 and this particular one is for Atari 8-bit computer stuff but I always wanted one of those too. It's fun to play with the numbers too. I see that ten single sided 5.25" disks could be had for the low, low price of $15.95. That's 1985 dollars so today that would be at least $20...probably closer to double but for simplicity's sake I'll say $20. That's about what you can get a spindle of 50 blank DVDs for today. So let's see, 1 single sided 5.25" floppy disk for the Atari could hold a whopping 90 KB of data. That means it would take more than 52,222 floppies to hold what 1 DVD can hold. So a spindle of 50 would be equivalent to more than 2.6 million floppies. That's more than 260,000 ten packs of floppies...times $20 would be more than $5.2 million... This particular ad is from the February 1985 issue of Antic, a magazine for Atari computers. Read more: https://www.megalextoria.com/wordpress/index.php/2020/05/20/computer-palace-atari-8-bit/
