Comparison of some old-school PCs of 25 to 35 years ago with today's. Obvious conclusion:
. . . we’ve established once again that, yes, computers today are mind-blowingly more powerful than they used to be.

But it’s easy to buy a steel-encrusted $350 bargain PC that’s just as powerful as a top of the line model a few years ago.
And here's a comparison of hard drives.
