I will not bore you with the images, have a look if you want to. I knew I had an example of eye-watering prices somewhere.

This from 1989, not the whole computer, just comunications modems, and of course no www, phone connect to their BBS
Then a book on graphics from 1992, ImageLab

Still makes interesting reading and I have the floppy that went with it. All about POV-Ray, Fractint, PicLab
I remember the first time I rendered a POV-Ray sphere on an Amstrad PC. Glorious green-screen monitor. 40 minutes to produce a black image. I forgot to include a light source
How times have changed.
