I am currently creating a Wikia (http://bushytree.wikia.com) about the evolution and history of the Human Computer Interface based on an early paper and an oft-referenced diagram that I've done on the Xerox Star. I would love to get in touch with collaborators to help hammer it into shape. [[Special:Contributions/68.58.255.234|68.58.255.234]] ([[User talk:68.58.255.234|talk]]) 22:31, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
== Early computers? ==
Can someone explain ''how'' these computers could possibly be classified as ''early''?
* [[ASC Purple]] - Processor: IBM POWER5 (circa 2005)
* [[ASCI Blue Pacific]] - Processor: IBM PowerPC 604e (circa 1997)
* [[ASCI Red]] - Processor: Intel Pentium Pro (circa 1995)
* [[ASCI Thor's Hammer]] - Processor: AMD Opteron (circa 2004)
* [[IBM Roadrunner]] - Do I need to give a date for this one? The latest and greatest supercomputer?
This editor seems to be responsible for classifying these systems: [[User:Tinucherian|Tinucherian]]. I have placed a message at his [[User talk:Tinucherian#Regarding_the_Columbia_.28supercomputer.29_and_ASCI_Blue_Mountain|talk page]] enquiring as to why these systems were classified as early computers, but there was no response. Two of the computers incorrectly tagged as early have been reverted by me, but when I discovered that there was a large number of systems incorrectly tagged, I have decided to get a response first before removing the tags.
