Prior art

James 2020-08-13

That’s amazing. Congrats on finding it!

One curious thing is that your article seems like it would have been relevant as prior art in some of the lawsuits that were raging 5-10 years ago. In fact, I have to wonder if it was used and you just weren’t told.

BASIC assumptions

Danyl Strype 2020-08-29

I’ve always felt quietly smug about learning to write very simple programs in BASIC in the mid-1980s. It’s amazing to think someone was envisioning pocket computers years before I even knew what a computer was. It boggles the mind to think what technology might emerge by the time another 30 years have passed (if high-tech can avoid collapsing by then).
