Of course, it seemed like serious money back then..
It was serious money back then. I am now collecting a modest retirement pension and Social Security and I'm getting almost exactly 3 times what I was earning then working hard at teaching unappreciative youngsters the joys of Biology and Earth Science. Every time I look at the "cheap" prices back then I have to remind myself of these facts.
