My mum bought one for the family, and my dad complained for years about how much it cost.
Great machine at the time, though.
Edit: wiki sez "Introductory price US$4,369 (equivalent to $9,120 in 2020)", so I get where he was coming from :)

The IIsi killed its floppy-drive because the fan sucked dust through it. It was then that I discovered that in 1991 a replacement 'Superdrive' floppy cost $400 (~ price of iPhone 12 Pro today). I wonder if Bukowski's IIsi died that way.

Wow, thanks for solving one of my childhood mysteries, now i know why my dad had always some tape over the floppy-drive on his IIsi :)
Sorry misread the "our" ;)
