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).
