     More to the point, the - 'conveniently', silently snipped - context   
   was "solid state drive", i.e. mass storage, not a computer's working   
   storage, so core memory is not relevant   
      
     But yes, I have used core memory, all whopping 8-64KB of them (and   
   even less if you count the (programmable) 'calculators' of the late   
   60s).
