It does, but maybe I could phrase it better:
" 3rd and final problem was that there was little software available other
than Lisa Office System 7/7 which contained the aforementioned applications.
She also took ages to boot. Things were helped with the ProFile external
hard drive from the Apple 3, which could store a whopping 5 MEGABYTES of
data....hell of a lot in those days....but not by much. *Only 10,000 were
sold*."
and:
" They also slashed the cost to $3495 according to the bumf I've got here,
or $4495 if you wanted the 2/5. It must've worked because Apple sold upwards
of 80,000 machines. "
I think the 70,000 I was talking about was Sinclair ZX80s!
cheers
