Great shades of the past! My first career field in the AF was maintaining communications gear (tape/card punches/readers) and the “brains” of the show had 512 bytes of core memory. Neatly packaged in a box about the size of an attache case.
Ever see one of these? I bought on Ebay for no real reason and it sort of still works. I’m just about out of tape for it. A cleaner view is included as a stock footage clip that I hope someone will buy someday. I have had clips that have sat for a couple of years before anyone used them and this may be no exception.
