Can you read? I wasn't discussing what they said, I was discussing the output 
of the AI. You're the one that is being a jerk.

It's normal to not provide a link unless there are additional relevant details 
behind the link, there was a request for a link  or it's something that 
warrants a bookmark. Anybody who is not being an AH understands that. In this 
case I would have had to search for the link, as attaching a PDF is not allowed 
and would not be reasonable if allowed.

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.
