Which would be exported back to the US, then imported again as computer parts.
I was also told that the women would have to change glasses several times in a few months, and then would be fired.
But it may have been just nationalist propaganda.

Happy with how my mounting/ framing of this core memory module turned-put.
Beautiful as a historical display piece, and I wouldn't mind trying to connect it to an Arduino some day. Addressing memory to read/write one bit of data at a time looks simple but also cumbersome at the same time.

A trip down memory lane...
WARNING - severe geekiness ahead.
Not my favourite core plane, that would be a 4k x 12 from a PDP/8L, but I don't have that one, alas. You could *see* the cores on that one.
8k (16 bit plus parity) memory from a PDP-11 (H214).

While every game is incredible in its own way, these are the ones that I have a #corememory with ❤️
1. Portal
2. Half Life
3. Ape Escape
4. Earthbound
5. Super Mario All-Stars
6. Pokemon
7. Halo
Modding Halo back in 2001 is the reason why im a software engineer today.

I went to Arty Bees the other day, found some #Serendipity books, and had a #corememory unlocked. 📚
Who else read these growing up?
