Perspective here, the average PC Hard Drive these days is 1 Terabyte. That is 16,000 times more storage than those days.
Average RAM these days 8 Gigabytes.
8 gigabytes RAM is 8,388,608 times More ram than The Optional 256 k those days.
Processor speed? Dare say Billions of times Faster and Many more Cores than those days, ALL That for a Small Fraction of the cost back then. Considering Inflation, it is Mind Boggling! One can now buy a NICE PC With all peripherals included for about $600.00 Today's price! That would likely translate to about $100.00 max back then!

No freeman shall be debarred the use of arms.
Thomas Jefferson
“Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.” Thomas Jefferson
