Had to look that up, as it predates what I had believed to be elder computer memories. I caught the very end of the card punch era when the Uni Computer Society purchased a mainframe for all cash on hand = $26 and a six-pack of beer. So charmed were the industrial sellers to declare this the winning bid, that they spent a fortune delivering it to the Human Sciences building that was being fitted out at the time, creating a downstream furor when it was discovered that it couldn't be gotten out again without dismantling interior walls. Those were the days. This one had the latest multi-platter Winchester drive that sounded like a flying saucer when it spooled up before activating the circuit breakers, plunging lecture theaters into darkness. Yes, my enjoyment of chaos certainly was well-served by that wonderful machine. ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
