old technology!
In about 1990 I was director of marketing at The Computer Museum in Boston (now part of Science Museum) and we had a stash of core memory planes we used to give as gifts to high dollar contributors. They were a high value tchochke! We also used a core plane as a logo, but found out after a while no one knew what it was!
We had a section of an Eniac you could actually walk thru--massed banks of vacuum tubes.
Geez how things change!
