jgc, the 1953 report is in the public domain, but the site you linked to wants me to be a registered member from a "partner institution". (sigh, mumble, expletive, mumble) If you would be so kind as to put it up on your site, it would be really appreciated. I'd love to read it. I feel the division between memory types is artificial, and touting "53KB in 1953" is blatantly misleading. The UNIVAC I had 20K on it's own, albeit mercury delay line memory. Of course, the real fun begins when the size of a "byte" isn't 8 bits, and the size of a "word" isn't 16 bits. And let's not forget the added fun of decimal based systems (ENIAC). ;-)
