I stand by my prior statement. You were being a
jerk in way you were telling people they were
wrong without deigning to reveal what was right and backing it up with a link.
However, I do stand corrected. While I remember
being told the name was "Houston Automated
Spooling Process", there is a 1968 document,
titled "The Cornell-HASP [i.e. Houston automatic
Spooling priority] system for the IBM 360 [by]
R.W. Conway and W.S. Worley, Jr."
(<https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/009880485>link) that backs you up.
WRT "memory is the second thing to go", that
would be short term memory. Long term memory is a bit more persistent.
