This was a tough page to build. There have been many references to the computers, and, given that RDM is against Technobabble, there's a limit on what is said to prevent limiting the growth of other stories. As we discover more about the inner computer workings, this should flesh out to be a nice page. (Cisco network engineers and MSCEs need not edit. I like to think that Galacticas more of a UNIX. :) --Spencerian 17:24, 21 October 2005 (EDT)
Merge/Splitting Off Computer History[edit]
Per Shane's markup: It's not a bad idea since I bet we'll have more to fill, although we may or may not need as much of a narrative such as what I had originally created. --Spencerian 15:38, 23 May 2006 (CDT)
Merv, please let others chime in before removing a merge request. The article is long and such a new article shortens this one. I rolled back your removal of Shane's tag for this reason. --Spencerian 16:41, 23 May 2006 (CDT)
- Not to defend Merv's hasty action, but I also think that a split would be more confusing than helpful. --Peter Farago 17:08, 23 May 2006 (CDT)
- Sorry I was just looking through and on closer inspection you were right: this page has been getting kind of long. Shouldn't have deleted that. On the other hand I agree with Peter that it would get kind of confusing. --The Merovingian (C - E) 18:24, 23 May 2006 (CDT)
- The secion is longer than the main part of computers itself. We could keep a paraphrased paragraph on the top having...
- Main article called Comupter History
- ...so people would goto that page to read the full article. --Shane (T - C - E) 20:43, 23 May 2006 (CDT)
- That sounds good. --Peter Farago 22:32, 23 May 2006 (CDT)
- Concur. Feel free to do so if I don't get around to it sometime soon. --Spencerian 08:29, 24 May 2006 (CDT)

Idea![edit]
Okay, we've now got pics of all the major Battlestar Computers, however there are two pics for the Damage Control computer, one for Pegasus and one for Galactca. Granted the two show the differences between the different ships technologies, however, is it really necessary to have both of them here on this page, as opposed to one (suggest pegasus one for better thumbnail size), for reference purposes?
