My Sinclar had 2K of memory, I added the 15k memory pack which was the size
of an AC adaptor and plugged in on the outside of the machine. I remember
wondering why I had to add so much at once.

You are really digitally aged when:
1 You only buy calculators that have binary and hex conversion functions.
Oh look now there is a web site for that!!.
2 Know the answer in your head for 11010011 = ??
3 Your first computer was a Sinclair. You had to solder it together
yourself, it was the size of a palm pilot, the video was via a regular TV
set and it saved its programs (a subset of Basic) to audio tapes on a
regular home tape recorder.
4 You miss the smell of hot vacuum tube amplifiers.

Couldn't resist the opportunity to date myself ...turning 40 in October
(stepping on through to the otherside)!
I still have stacks of the dinner plate sized floppies and a couple
removable disc platters in the "cake covers"...
Anyone need a TI-990?? or remember the 5 divisions of a COBOL program?
ahhh, Initial Program Load (IPL) on 327x's and CICS/MVS -- the less
complicated days of JCL and IEBGen'r ;)

Usually the core is non-volatile, so it can be turned off and restarted to
almost where you were, kinda like a refrigerator sized Palm Pilot. A real
boot (or IPL for the blue guys) requires toggling about 12 words of binary
into the front panel switches. Guess panel LEDs on my Athlon 1200 would
just be a blur, but I kinda miss 'em.
