Visual Computing Systems https://nooron.org/know/computing_systems This is a knowledge base of computing systems, their origins, their creaDone. nd their relations with other such systems. It was created to modernize, expand on and support the ongoing maintenance requirements of the "Bushy Tree Diagram" created by John Redant, Bruce Damer and others: http://www.digibarn.com/stories/desktop-history/bushytree.html which was inspired by 'The Xerox "Star": A Retrospective' http://www.digibarn.com/friends/curbow/star/retrospect/index.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents 1.
