  • Abstract
    Because this issue of the Annals focuses on the SAGE system, the following excerpt from Christopher Evans´s 1975 interview with Jay W. Forrester is timely. Editor´s Note: Jay Forrester is one of the great pioneers of the computer business: director of Digital Computer Laboratory at MIT, builder of Whirlwind, inventor of core memory, and chief engineer for SAGE. His accomplishments are too numerous to mention, but this brief excerpt from an interview shows us something of his attitude toward design.
