  This is hillarious! Wasn't the notion of a stack
arond already
 before 1965? 
Sometimes, even when stacks were provided in hardware, they
operated slower than a "simulation" of a stack using an array
and an index. While the hardware might provide for a complex
stack frame for the data needed by local activations, you could
avoid all the overhead by rolling your own.
