In 1968 we purchased a computer system roughly the size of a small living room, it could store 256 kilobytes of data, which is now roughly the same size as the corner of a photo taken on a phone camera. Of course it is not still in use today. In 1992, following the transfer of business from a Scottish-based friendly society, we adopted the name Scottish Friendly Assurance.
