Unhappy

I used to have a few core memory boards. Tiny magnets quite literally sewn onto the board in neat arrays. If I remember correctly, the boards cost 4,000 dollars a piece (~68). That was for a 128*128 byte array...or was it 64*64 - yeah.

Those are ballpark numbers. I left the boards in an attic when I moved.
