It'd want to be, at over $4500 including a floppy drive!

originally closer to $6000 (Apr, 1982)

The software is based on an operating system that the people at Silicon Valley software did. These were the same guys that Apple got their Pascal compiler from for Lisa. I think the fundamental problem was Corvus didn't have all the people from PARC, UCSD and HP that Apple had doing Lisa, and never really exploited the bitmapped display. The Concept has the mindset of the P-System if it had been compiled instead of interpreted.
