Innovation...
>From BILLW@SRI-KL Thu Mar 4 11:09:14 1982
The point is that to most of the world, putting a PDP-8 in their
office is more innovation than they think they are ready for...
You and I and the rest of the NET may need a Cray 3 with a 6 foot
diagnal color picture and a rat (a big mouse..) before we are
impressed, but much of the world is terrified if characters that
they haven't typed appear on a display. Improving the human
engineering with mice and bit-maps and stuff may make it easier
for some people, but is scares other people even more... So.. .
Let's ge tthe current technology out into the world. Then we can
worry about inovative technology...
