You rich jerk, living in luxury and claiming it is poverty! I had 8K - 8 I tell you. And one of my 8 bits broke off - I had to simulate it with the other 7.
7 bits??? I used to DREAM of 7 bits! My parity bit got stuck at zero and the processor was so slow I counted on my fingers faster than it could... my first "digital" computer!!!
