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!

Yep. I learned to program on an IBM 1620 Mark 2, with 4K of memory!! Now if my computer has less than 4G, I'm not satisfied.

Besides reviving memories of Mike's serial banning string, it's an interesting reminder.
At one time IMSAI was a world leader in floppy disks, etc. So was Elephant. Were are they now?
