It may have been tongue in cheek, but I actually find it endearing and cool that Shatner responded to this and responded in the way he did. Not to mention he's actually not wrong.
I have met him at various comic cons in Canada. Last time in 2021 Fan Expo Toronto. Sharp as a tack. He does everything himself, he doesn't have someone else handling his social.
As Shatner points out. It was the best computer for the price it sold for.
I have no idea of the MSRP, but I remember at Christmas 1982 when bought my Atari 400, The Sinclair was about U$99, the 5k Vic was around 249, the 16k Atari 400 was $400 and the 48k Atari 800 was $800 and I think the c64 was around 500 or 600. The Coleco was around but I don’t recall the price. I do remember ther iBM and Apple were only for very rich people at prices well over $1000.
