yup.

" I started thinking about my SS/20 when I saw an ad for $79 Ross 150 MHz CPUs (new in box, including 2.25R PROM) It first seemed cheap (compared with recent prices), but then expensive (compared with Ultra 1/2-era hardware prices)...

indeed.  75MHz supersparcs are going for what, $10?  that's more like
it, these days.  you can get a whole ultra for $79, when the wind is
right and your karma is good and the moon is in the right quarter...
