1GB hynix [insert about 80 odd characters here] ram.
Associated with Day 26’s hard drive – both replaced/upgraded at same time on my aging (obsolete?) macbook pro.
The first practical form of random-access memory was the Williams-Kilburn tube starting in 1947. [Wikipedia]
I’m not sure why ram and hard-drives are blue. Of course this is based on a very small sampling of the perhaps 5 hard-drives, and 8 sticks of ram I’ve replaced in the last few years. Maybe non-Apple ones are orange? I prefer the original black and white.
“A close-up view reveals dots (ones) and spaces (zeroes) on the face of a tube. The bits had to be refreshed before the dots faded, in less than a second.” [Computer History Museum]
Status: The sea monster will need extra memory to process all those telegrams.
Kill-ratio: 28:1

Love that first photograph, Deanne. The last RAM I bought was green.
Thanks Richard! That’s the only one that is mine, in case that wasn’t clear btw. Green eh? So it does vary.
