core?..  core??...  CORE!!!  ah, the memories...

my first personal computer, so young and sweet, Kim-1 she was called, i think...

my but it's been a long time...   Kim was thin, weighing in at 256 bytes (yes,
that's bytes, not kilo-, or mega-bytes) of RAM.  but I loved to stroker her firm
little hex keypad and watch her eight LED digits flash.  We made some beautiful
machine code together...

of course, she didn't have core.  she wasn't a brute after all!  But, I have
a pane of core from some extinct mainframe in a draw at home...

Thanx for the memories!  -walter.
