That $40K is way more than it seems and it is still cheap. To give an idea about the cutting edge hardware prices back in the day, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_2250?wprov=sfla1

The price you are reading is correct, $2M today. That is what happens when you want 1024×1024 display and pointing device like that NSA spy girl.

I think one should compare it to an entry level AIX/Power system or HP/UX. Apple does still have certified UNIX OS too.
