They say that the memory is the second thing to go. The August 1967 catalog of 
programs shows it as priority. Maybe spend less time gratuitously insulting 
people and more time fact checking.

In the 1960s, I worked for one of the early
adopters of HASP. It's original name back then
was "Houston Automated Spooling Processor". The
word "Priority" did not come along until the 1970s.
