Umm, even though the Lisa and the iPad are both Apples.... you cannot compare them like apples to apples..... ;)
There is no comparison, the tech has moved on. Using _your_ analogy, you could get millions of iPads for the cost of a 60\'s computer but one iPad will be more powerful.
Perhaps you should be talking de-flation?
