Went with the spousal unit to a local arts fair and what did one vendor
sell? Right, "obsolete" chips. I immediately spotted a LSI-11 chip
set.
And what about the EPROM bracelet?
Some gold NASA stuff as well.
Sad, very sad.
Well, that activity could itself qualify as 'classic'. I doubt if I
could find it, but I do remember a little 'news highlights' article in
Popular Electronics or Radio Electronics in the late-60's or early-70's
about e-stuff being made into jewelry. The accompanying photo showed a
female model with bits of circuit boards or what-have-you hanging off
her ears.
It was, like, really mod, man.
