Your analogy only works if 8008s are still made today, as the $1.00 candy 
bar is an upgraded version of the one in 1975[1].

So, would you be willing to pay a buck for a candy bar made in '75? I 
didn't think so... ;-)

[1] ; not to mention, the candy bars I prefer are about $2.50 each; I'd 
much rather eat 1 Lindt bar compared to 2.5 Hershey bars... Life's too 
short to drink cheap beer. You can quote me on that one. ;-)
