Not sure what you can do with 16 KB. That's like in the 80s.

one could do a lot...

MIT's original design called for just 4K words of fixed memory and
256 words of erasable (at the time, two computers for redundancy were
still under consideration). By June 1963, the figures had grown to
10K of fixed and 1K of erasable. The next jump was to 12K of fixed,
with MIT still insisting that the memory requirement for an
autonomous lunar mission could be kept under 16K! Fixed memory
leapt to 24K and then finally to 36K words, and erasable memory had
a final configuration of 2K words.

I meant 16 KB in modern times.
