Sheesh, this list is beginning to remind me of the Dinosaur list,
where the elders and the young'ins rant forever about birds versus dinos.
What's wrong with a long list of "X begat Y" and knowing who might've
talked to who, and knowing how similar ideas evolved independently?
Today's computers are more similar to each other than "computers" were
thirty years ago. So what? Is it a dino with feathers, or a bird
with dino hips? The history is interesting, especially when new
items are uncovered.
