My little RCA 1802 computer with it's toggle switchs and hex keypad had so
little memory that some of a program would be stored in video memory. You
could actually watch the bits flip as the program was run.

But it had enough that we used it to control our enlarger in the photolab for
several years. Whole program was 0045 bytes (hex), and had to be typed in now
and then. Had it memorized. The program is still on the web :)
