You precede me by a bit. I've seen the core storage, but I think it was obsoleted when I started, about 72.

But I do remember Star Trek and the old teletype machines, ***RED ALERT***, ***RED ALERT***, and the bells would ring to high heaven. Most of us would stuff napkins in the bells to quiet them.

And the original ADVENTURE.

A hollow voice says "Plugh"...

I heard a rumor some guy who's dad had died found two brand new in the box Radio Shack Trash 80's in the garage, and was able to get like 10K apiece on Ebay for them!

That computer was obsolete at the time, being built to milspec, but it could take small arms fire and a direct hit from a ships firehose and keep chugging away.
