Subject: [COFF] Happy birthday, Jay W. Forrester and 386BSD!
Date: Sun, 14 Jul 2019 15:55:21 +1000 (EST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.BSF.2.21.9999.1907141542440.53965@aneurin.horsfall.org> (raw)
A computer pioneer, he is credited with the invention of core memory;
fascinating stuff, when you realise that a "read" involves a couple of
write cycles :-) Sense windings, etc...
And 386BSD was released on this day in 1992, when William and Lynne Jolitz
started the Open Source movement; well, that's what my notes say, and
corrections are welcome (I know that Gilmore likes to take credit for just
about everything).
