I pine for the days when memory was memory to the core!

When I started as Crypto/Comm maintenance in the mid 70s (AF), we had equipment that utilized core memory (a whopping 512 bytes)- thanks for the memory jolt!

I used to work on name-brand jukeboxes that utilized core memory to track and play the 5 songs you selected when you dropped in your Quarter. Man, that was rock-solid state of the art technology!!

Yeah but I think it was a buck a bit for core..

So what are we looking at here, about 4K (If that) of memory?
I saw one of those in an old IBM System 3 (I think it was) that was gathering dust at a company I used to work for.
Amazing ain't it?
