I mean that the technical limits are a not an issue for the program you want to run. Hello World will run on an AppleII computer, but it doesn't have enough memory to run Libre Office (Assume an unlimited budget to create/port the compiler, POSIX layer, X server ...)

If the conversation is concerned with running Hello world it doesn't matter that an AppleII can't do everything, for our purposes it can do anything. If we expand the conversation a little but though we realize this machine is unable to run many things we find useful today.
