A friend of mine worked at the FAA back when it was the CAA. Their first computer had 2K of RAM. It was housed in a building all by itself with a giant AC system. He had to write the software and was very good at tight code. They paid mega thousands of dollars for an additional 2K of RAM.
It is mind boggling how far computers have come since then. I bet the FAA computer cost as much or more than the new one at Oak Ridge.
