We forget about all of the alternative ways of implementing digital
logic. At one time, magnetic core logic was viewed as being much more
reliable than either tube or transistor logic, although not as fast.
Probably better hardened to radiation, as well.
In some respects, core logic reminds me somewhat of the McCulloch-Pitts
TLU model described in Minsky's book on Computation:
