I was sitting here today enjoying a pint of beer and a ploughman's lunch when my thoughts turned to Jay Forrester, and I raised my glass to him, for it was he who on this day in 1956 patented random access, coincident-current magnetic storage, which became the standard memory device for digital computers. Cheers Jay.
