And where can I purchase one of these new-fangled highly-efficient RCA computers with infinite memory?

No need to bother
Few years after the aforementioned ad, IBM added virtual memory to its IBM 370 computers.
I remember having worked few months as computer operator for an organization, which had IBM 370/168 (IBM 370/165 with virtual memory) at 1976.
The hard disk drives of that bygone era had the size (and probably also the noise) of washing machines. The hard disks themselves were mountable and had almost the size of the drums of washing machines. As far as I remember, their data capacity was whopping hundreds of MBs.

Interesting article found by googling for ‘IBM 370’
http://www.beagle-ears.com/lars/engineer/comphist/ibm360.htm
According to this article, IBM planned the IBM 370 series to have virtual memory from the beginning, after the concept was proven in IBM 360/67.
Since IBM had delays in implementing virtual memory and its software support, RCA apparently tried to sneak into the market hole.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Virtual memory sucks.

I couldn’t get until I noticed the date.

Bards
What I want to know, is where did you get the Brobdingnagian Bards music? And why are you listening to it?

Re: Bards
I got it on the net, of course, and I (was) listening to it because that’s all I had 🙂
