   In Jurassic Park (the book) they talk about the Cray X-MP supercomputer, so of course I looked it up.

   It was released in 1982, featured among other things 128 MB RAM, up to 38 GB of storage and 4 CPUs running at about 100 MHz.

   It was the most powerful computer in the world up until 1985 and cost about 15 million dollars.

   Of course nowadays your phone is more capable than this beast.
