several things couldn't be compared: size of the DNS (information not available before i got bored looking for it), size of core routing tables (BGP was not yet invented), number of [https://www.atariarchives.org/creativeatari/PlayerMissile_Graphics.php player-missile graphics] (intel wisely eschewed Player-Missile Graphics), etc. Also, it's difficult to succinctly state the capacity of one side of a Genesis tape when recording 6502 assembly to it with the ATARI 410 Cassette Recorder; my apologies for any inaccuracy.
