Talk about in memory tables. Do you remember the IBM 1620? It's code
name
was the:
C Can't
A Add
D Doesn't
E Even
T Try
It had an internal add table. In effect the system added two decimal
digits by
accessing a table. I forget the details, but you sure got weird results
if
you messed (either intentionally or unintentionally) with the table.
