I miss-spoke (or, more accurately, miss-moaned). It's not a combo in the grid - it is the combo that is the initial focus on the form, that changes on mousewheel, and automatically updates the contents of the grid - which can take a minute or more with our configuration - so really it's 0 and 2 combined - but lists of three are so much more, I dunno, neat?

It's more the:
"HI! YOUR ACCOUNT HAS BEEN REACTIVATED!
"HAVE 23,000 FRIEND REQUESTS, AND 189,000 DOCUMENTS THAT STRANGERS HAVE DEMANDED THAT YOU TO LOOK AT, BECAUSE YOU OWE IT TO THEM TO LOOK AT THEIR GARBAGE!"
problem that bothers me.

I'll bet that many of you are not old enough to remember core memory. Yet is was the predominant form of RAM for 20 years:
[Core Memory]
So what happened to core memory? Intel - that is what happened. In 1968 a chemist (Gordon Moore) and a physicist (Robert Noyce) persuaded a venture capitalist (Arthur Rock) to raise money to fund a company that would put computer memory on a chip. Intel was registered on July 18, 1968 and the rest is history. You may read more here:
[Intel] and here: [Intel Timeline]
This brings back memories of the early 1970s when I as a young engineer was involved in computerized air traffic control systems for civilian airports. The computers had core memory modules, each holding 4 KB of data and each about .25 cubic ft in size. Ah! Them wuz the days!

Great, I'm old.
When I was 20ish I worked at a DEC var and we had some spares of the core memory boards,
They were cool to look at.
This was the last time I actually saw with my naked eye, a bit cell.

Ooooohhhh. Memories. I cut my teeth as an engineer in the late 70's on similar vintage stuff. An ICL System 4-72 with 8 64kB core modules and a 7905 system with 4 x 8kB core modules. Real computers they were.

Core memory was fun.
Fun to use, because it didn't need power to remember it's values.
Fun to make because it took forever to "weave" it by hand...but satisfying in a way that adding RAM to a PC never was... 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I have the Haynes Apollo 11 manual which I would recommend to anyone interested in the early space missions.
It goes into this area briefly and how the onboard computers had a tiny amount of memory and some fairly amazing programming including the 1202 alarm which saved the lives of the Apollo 11 astronauts.

Finally I feel young again, after years passed feeling "old" because my first PC was a (new at the time) 386 SX with a nice 1MB of RAM and 47 MB of Hard Disk. One of the first machines to not have 2 diskette drives pre-installed, and one of the last where the CMOS was powered by 4 AA batteries (under the cavity where the base of the monitor should have been placed).

My dad had one of these planes and showed it to me, don't remeber the year.
Also wrote an paper in college on bubble memory[^], at the time was supposed to be the next big thing. Surprisingly they still make and sell it.

If only [insert title] was as good as its advert (except Windows 8, which is as good as advertised)
