I am in So. Cal. and have not been able to find anyplace for less than $500.

With inflation, four years later, that's about the same price.

I vaguely remember that. Must've been around 1988? It was immediately followed by a total disaster with the introduction of dBase IV. And that was the end of Ashton-Tate. Too bad, since dBase II was an amazing invention.

Hmm...I see that the 23rd Anniversary of George Tate's death is coming up. Cheers, George! :beer:
