Don't I know it; I've never paid more than less than[1] half that for a
computer before! But it was for  a reward as much as just a really good
(or so we thought) machine for 4 future years.  Who would have guessed
that it would cost more than a thousand dollars per semester?
Of course, laptops were more expensive in general then.

[1] I couldn't resist using that phrase, it is so..
     stupid-looking.  Is it understandable?
