![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Out of Gas, By George Hughes, 1961 ![]() ![]() This is 'rope memory' which held the program onboard Apollo 11 for the moon landing trip in 1969. 72K of memory, all hand wound, taking months to "program". If a wire went through one of the circular cores it represented a binary one... Yet it was one of the first user programmable computers.

When being certified to sell new Porsches, we had to go through training and pass a test. One key point of the training (in 1989) was that being a Porsche owner was exclusive. The 918 is the one for people who don't care about the money and want to brag "mine is bigger than yours". Besides that, the sound which will scream "Look at me, I own a porch"
