Assuming you’re an anachronism like myself! 
Great article!
I remember when the Oberheim X-a, DMX and DSX first came out. It listed for 9,999.00 USD.
My first Mac cost me $4,400.00 CDN in 1987, which back then was a huge whack of cash (you could get a nice barely-used car for that money). No hard drive, twin “super drives” and that lovely 9 inch B&W display! 1 Mb of RAM! I moved up to a MacIIx a year or two later, and had to mortgage the farm just for a memory upgrade - 4Mb upgrade cost $500! 
Wow! 
I still have the Atari pictured
