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?

Yes, I've only once paid more than less than half $4000 for a computer, and
that was my first XT, which cost me $2300. Now I want a netbook, but since
they all cost more than less than half what I paid for my last two laptops,
I'm having a hard time justifying it :-)
