"my experience with computing started with work on memory. I always had a perspective on computers which is sort of a memory's eye view. I look for the memory and see what you have to connect around it. In my work for a master's degree I wanted to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the sensing signal coming out of core memory. In those days, the materials for making magnetic cores were very poor compared to what they finally evolved into."
