hehehehe.
When I read this I "saw" this little things throwing the beads through
the wire mesh, making this 1/2 tonne frames holding the
unbearable amount of 500kb!

Reminds me of Monash Uni. We had this area full of this stuff;
amongst the "computer" which now stands in the science works down
in Williams town (Monash donated that thing).

Some of those memory (frames like 2mx2m) were holding less then
the bloody electronic door opener for my car.

I wonder whether the electronic door key could do a core dump and 
iff what THAT would look like.....
