I would've said "Program" but that seems to be wrong - or 1980's instead of 1960's.

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. Dave At 11/16/25 09:34 PM, Seymour J Metz wrote: >They say that the memory is the second thing to >go.
