It takes a minute to download memories
The new generation chips are instant access, but these chips were only fifth-generation.
Prone to errors and data corruption.
Arthur had been meaning to upconvert and transfer, but never got around to it.

Or is that uploading?
Arthur cleared his buffers, and closed the wooden box.
