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
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)
