The issue of Wired I just picked up, July, features
two computer history items:
A Wired-original 2-page history chart of all (about
75 total) popular computer languages since 1954.
and a mini-introduction (with Big Cray pic.) of the new book
"Computers: An Illustrated History"
(on Amazon as by Christian Wurster)
(sounds like this was the guy to get for VCF.de)
