I worked for NCR in the 60s as computer tech. Memory was expensive I think 15k for one machine was $75,000.Had a printer controller it had no memory and would steal memory cycles from the main computer.Worked at American Greeting card co they ran 24 7,two service men on each shift.Had four CDC card punches that punched 250 cards a minute.
