i had an old encloypaedia when I was a kid. It had been published in the 1960s. In it under the computer section it had a colour photo of a processor or something and it was this incredibly dense criss-cross pattern of what looked like wiring. I never knew why but that picture used to give me a funny feeling in my brain that I didn't like.



Probably a core memory board?


I don't know, next time i'm in my parent's last house I will see if the book made it there.
