It also forgets when the power goes off, but since it doesn't take any power unless it's changing state you can keep it alive for years with a little lithium coin cell.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11025719778395958202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7834826019588534175.post-2967339898096268292012-02-29T19:55:21.461-05:002012-02-29T19:55:21.461-05:00Early 1960's...

Class on Physical Chemistry - P Chem - we had to run programs on the mainframe to do Schrodinger's equations for probability of an electron being in a given orbital... <br /><br />To program, lots and lots of punch cards were typed up by entering meta language equations into the punching machine... Then the stacks of punched cards were fed into the card reader on the mainframe (IBM obviously)...<br />The wary would take a pencil and sequentially number their card stack - the unwary didn't... A favorite torture for the unwary was when someone would slip a single card out of their stack and stick it back in at random (called cutting the deck)...<br /><br />Todays students laugh at this old technology, but it sent us to the moon.. It programmed ICBM flight paths... And on and on...<br /><br />dr. oUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17955736877931048265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7834826019588534175.post-74922865301150179482010-09-08T05:22:30.872-04:002010-09-08T05:22:30.872-04:00nice article about nmea 2000

I can see it's something along the lines of RAM/NVRAM, but I don't really see how it applies in this caseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7834826019588534175.post-81548830987408605442010-08-05T10:19:23.326-04:002010-08-05T10:19:23.326-04:00Hi,Blogger I visited your blog recently and found ...Hi,Blogger I visited your blog recently and found that so informative..thanks for sharing the information..keep it up!!<br /> <br /><a href="http://www.gpsabundant.com" rel="nofollow">marine gps units</a>Bruce Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14597351201009569615noreply@blogger.com
