But passed in a Solid State School during the transitioning period of the Vacuum Tube and Transistor I have been around since the Microcomputer came into being. and you had to build your own hardware. My first 8k ram board had 1kx1 populated on it, And then I become top dog by building a 64k ram board populated with low powered CMOS ram.
