Emax

Back in the early 90s I paid around $AU5000 for my Emax II. At the time I could not afford the 
hard disk or Syquest removable drive, let alone a CDROM drive as these options were priced at 
more than $AU1000 each! So in relative terms, $US150 for a flash drive with vastly greater 
storage capacity and reliability is dirt cheap. Buy one and be happy :)
