30K: Know its not Walkman, think its not watch. Like contestant, remember early home computers at 5K. But thos were PCs, I think. Also remember professionals at job getting 5K specialized Macs. But this was mid 80s, not '76. Am convinced rigged 50/50 will leave same 2 choices I've narrowed it down to. Like contestant I'd have gone out here.

I still have my lifelines but may not need them. I can rule out Pong and the Walkman. I can't recall the Seiko watch but I do remember the Apple I computer - a friend of mine bought one back then. I'll try the 50:50 and hope that A and C aren't the two remaining choices.
