Hello!
Interesting.
I know I've seen the Star system rig before. But the Xerox Alto one is
new to me. Wasn't the PDP-7 the fellow where UNIX really got its start
on before they moved it to a PDP-11?

Jay Forrester, who invented core memory, first described it in
a lab notebook 65 years ago today.
(Thanks to the Living Computer Museum, through whose Twitter
feed I learned this tidbit. It's a place--the real museum,
not just the Twitter feed--many on this list might enjoy:
among their aged-but-working computers are a Xerox Star and
a PDP-7.)
