Looking good so far. I'll edit in some stuff when I can (and I get the CZ 'muse' talking in my ear), for example your NOTE: Discuss the feedback cycle of rapidly developing hardware and software technology (Moore's law type stuff)

Haven't forgotten/How far back do you wanna go?

I haven't forgotten about the Draft I've just been hanging out over at Linux and Linux (kernel) cause amazingly enough there's another author on here that contributes to the Computers Workgroup and we've been kicking butt on the Linux family of articles (User:Joshua David Williams if you're curious).

Anyway... how far back do you think we should go with this thing? I mean... technically an abacus is a "computer" sort of. Or do you want to do something more traditional, like Charles Babbage/Ada Lovelace-era? --Eric M Gearhart 16:03, 6 April 2007 (CDT)

Just an overview here...there should, I think, be a separate article on History of Computing or some suchPat Palmer 00:20, 7 April 2007 (CDT)
