    This is so old, so old that Memorex is where my dad worked back in the day. I’m also old. Goddamnit.

      If you get old enough everyone’s parents used to work for a big tech company. My mother who can barely operate her phone, used to work for a company that manufactured microchips.

        My mother used to work for a company that made magnetic core memory.

        That’s the kind of memory that predates semiconductors and it was assembled by hand using gold wire and tiny ferrite rings.

        She does know how to use a PC and has a tablet, though 😀
