Subject: [TUHS] Happy birthday, core dumped
Date: Sun, 15 Jun 2014 14:19:36 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1402856379.23321.for-standards-violators@oclsc.org> (raw)
Jay Forrester, who invented core memory, first described it in
a lab notebook 65 years ago today.
(Thanks to the Living Computer Museum, through whose Twitter
feed I learned this tidbit. It's a place--the real museum,
not just the Twitter feed--many on this list might enjoy:
among their aged-but-working computers are a Xerox Star and
a PDP-7.)
