I don't know what they had at the Cape, but a reliable source once told
me that the onboard computer had only 48K of RAM since it was considered
too expensive to go to 64K.

Back to classic computers, it has been said, perhaps apocryphylly(sp?),
that "My laptop has more computer power than NASA used to put men on
the
moon." While it may be true, I've never
actually seen a description of
the
computer resources available to NASA between 1962 and
1969. Does anyone
on
the list have that information?
