whatareblocks
In Konilo, blocks are 1,024 values (typically characters)
that are used for long-term storage. The ilo computer provides
a block storage device, and Retro has words to read blocks into
memory and write them back to the storage device.
I like to think of blocks as being similar to index cards. You
can write, draw, etc onto a card, and then file them away until
needed.
