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).
