Or was it the "Infinitely Indexed Memory Bank" from Earth vs the Flying Saucers?

Just going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer. Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱
Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!

I expect the interocitor was the source of the strange, sonar-like noise the crew reported.

Boeing did away with the infinitely indexed memory bank a few years after they merged with McDonnell Douglas.
