I fear a sad part of this slide show is that many of us remember and were
part of it all.     Some of us   programmed these machines (I admit that I
still have some of these pieces in my basement).   I was disappointed they
did not show a "stinger tap." The picture of the Alto shows the first mouse
96 the Hawley Labs mechanical mouse (which I miss for its feel).     Check out
the picture of the first Cisco router using Intel Multibus (with a Motorola
68k in it) looking so awkward.

Can't say I disagree with the one comment there either.

Well I speak to machines with the voice of humanity.
