No, it started out as chips in sockets. I (dimly) remember upgrading my II+, I think from 32kb to 48kb? A lot has changed.

  EEPROM like DIP packaging where it was damn near impossible to pull without bending a pin and/or smacking your hand on something? God forbid someone steps on it too, I think I might still have some scars on my feet.

    And remember how the pins were a little too wide, so as to ensure tension against the socket, so you had to put one side in and apply pressure to get the other side? How many chips did I just fold over or bend even just inserting? Many.
