They're very strong in memory. Didn't do very much in microprocessors or digital signal processing.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was running an assembly line designed to build memory chips. I saw the microprocessor as a bloody nuisance.
The computing world is very good at things that we are not. It is very good at memory.
I remember the difficulty we had in the beginning replacing magnetic cores in memories and eventually we had both cost and performance advantages. But it wasn't at all clear in the beginning.
I love memory sticks. They seem to me to be magic.
Memory is more indelible than ink.
I have an excellent memory, a most excellent memory.
One very clear memory I have of college is that I never learned anything in the big lectures. I have a feeling I'd have done even worse if they'd been on a laptop screen.
One of the things that's interesting is that the PC has always had a huge amount of scalability. It was sort of the wild dog that moved into Australia and killed all the local life because it could just adapt. There used to be these dedicated devices, like dedicated word processors.
People are good at intuition, living our lives. What are computers good at? Memory.
I think it killed the performance on a lot of the systems in the Labs for years because everyone had their own copy of it, but it wasn't being shared, and so they wasted huge amounts of memory back when memory was expensive.
