If you're going to be like that... I had a MITS Altair 8800 with 256 bytes of memory, where you would step through memory to then toggle bits on and off via sense switches beneath LEDs. I think we should stop there, rather than go back further, to desk calculators and comptometers. :-) Richard Sims
