User talk:Pat Palmer/Computer

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)
When do you wanna go live with this thing? --Eric M Gearhart 07:14, 6 April 2007 (CDT)

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)
