Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming.
Ephesians 4:14 NIV
- Inside the Apple-1’s shift-register memory (righto.com)
Apple’s first product was the Apple-1 computer, introduced exactly 46 years ago, on April 11, 1976. This early microcomputer used an unusual type of storage for its display: shift register memory. Instead of storing data in RAM (random-access memory), it was stored in a 1024-position shift register. You put a bit into the shift register and 1024 clock cycles later, the bit pops out the other end. In the early days of random-access memory chips, shift-register memory was cheaper so many systems used it. The downside, of course, is that you had to use bits as they became available, rather than access arbitrary memory locations.
