Ah,...memories indeed
My first computer; a Sperry Univac(not all mine, actually)had no screen,.....just flashing regesters, and ran so slowly that you could watch the regesters flash thru their sequencing, we "debugged" it by removing the actual bugs that would be eating the coating on the wires
It was cool though; it was "Solid-State"!
It had an associated piece of equipment that had a tube compiler that was even slower
Later; while working for Bryant Computer, we built a new, larger/faster disc drive. It was the size of a VW bug, had an environmental unit of the same size, ran with 36" oxide coated discs which would cause an actual "crash" when some of that oxide would flake off and cause the data heads to stop "flying".
It was a whopping 4.2GB
