Over $11K in today's funny money.

Yikes!

Yeah... I paid $3G for Autocad (10).
Turned out I hated Autocad.
It was about as handy as a rock for drawing.

Yup. That was the first time I uttered the
phrase "User Vicious".

Generic CADD at $99.00 was 'way more
intuitive and useful for me.

Been working with Design CAD ever since.
For $69

I went from Generic CADD to VisualCAD to
Rhino3D. I love Rhino3D.

That's 'modeling', really.

But yeah...

Computer power to the people!

Well, I took about the same route -- Generic CADD, CADKey, (then DesignCAD,
a couple of other architectural CAD programs, and Ashlar Vellum, which was
my client), and then Rhino 3D. Rhino 3D is more than a modeller now,
although I don't know if I'd use it to produce files for CAM. Some people do
but I haven't kept up with the professional uses of it.

Anyway, yeah, computer power to the people. I could use some more computer
power myself, come to think of it...
