Ok, this is obscure to the max, but: ISTR real core costing $1/byte. Someone else says: "$1 a byte was extrordinarily cheap for 1971. Ferrite core was going for up to $2 per BIT."
Of course, he then goes on to talk about PDPs, so maybe he's talking about core made in Maynard instead of Mexico... Anyway: do any of the other old-timers remember anything about this? -- ...phsiii Phil Smith III (703) 476-4511 (home office) (703) 568-6662 (cell)
