I meant the very technical sense where you could take an object recognition algorithm and compile it to run on a 80386 and it would run fine although slow to the point of not being practical. Computers brought us more speed (and memory) to enable new classes of uses, but there’s not a single intrinsic operation a modern computer does which an old one can’t replicate. So quantity is indeed a quality.
