Heh, as a wet behind the ears engineer I worked on the first computer for IBM that switched late in the design from core to solid state. Saw lots of higher density versions of what he is holding in that video.
Back then our field engineers used to fly with small stacks of these for field replacement in the passenger area of planes. They were called "boms" until some passengers freaked out at overheard conversations. :-)
