This Atari has a whole 64Kbits of memory, and each disc stores just over 100
kI think.
Its all text and controlchars of course. The database front end as I
recall was quite pretty, but not mega exciting, it was meant to be useful
after all!
Sad thing is although it has a serial bus and a centronics printer
interface, no modern printer can be used as it needs the old Epson codes to
work.

For running the pretty, graphics heavy, user interface. That and the bloat
that's in all modern operating systems. This 1.6 gigahertz Windows 7
computer uses about a quarter of its processing power and 750 megabytes of
RAM just keeping Windows ticking over.
