Way back in the stone ages of computers the place I worked at bought one of the first IBM AT 6 Mhz computers. It had 2 MB of RAM, and a HUGE 32 MB hard drive, and a monochrome monitor as the main display, and a color monitor that would display 256 colors at some decent resolution that I don't remember.
The boss spent right at 6 grand for that and I thought it was a ton of money. It had DOS 3 I think, dang it was 1985 or something.
I just ordered a computer that would be pure science fiction for that era. 16 core, 32 threads, 256 GIG of RAM, a pair of two M2 two TB drive, 5 - 4 TB drives to run as a RAID 5, fast video card with higher resolution and 32 bit color, and a case and power-supply and stuff to make it all work, for less money. Not much less. But so many orders of magnitude faster it is had to quantify.
34 years of advancement in computers is a lot.
Some assembly required.
