=archived everything; starting over=
I have archived previous discussions, since I totally reorganized [[Computer]], sending most of the old stuff either to [[Computer architecture]] or to [[History of computing]] (new article).[[User:Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer]] 17:14, 23 April 2007 (CDT)
 
=question about microprocessor computing=
a rapid evolution can also be changed into revolution, and if we talk about microprocessor computing we do talk about the digital revolution. Any objection to changing that part?

::I'm not sure what you're asking, but edit what you think best.  I'd recommend avoiding getting too detailed about technology, however.  Perhaps that discussion would belong better in [[history of computing]], which hopefully will have a breakdown of developments by decade.[[User:Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer]] 17:57, 23 April 2007 (CDT)
 
:::P S - I wouldn't want to use a phrase like "digital revolution" without first explaining it.  I think in terms of my grandmother--could she read what I wrote and get anything out of it?  If not, it's too "jargony".  That's my corny standard, anyways.[[User:Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer]] 18:19, 23 April 2007 (CDT)
::: the rapid change of society is called the digital revolution, sorry for anybody but that is the generally accepted term for the explosive intrusion in life of the computer in all its appearances.

::::OK; can we put the definition in parentheses right after the first occurence of the term?[[User:Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer]] 18:29, 23 April 2007 (CDT)
 
=why can't I mark this as NOT from Wikipedia?=
When I uncheck the "from Wikipedia" on this article, it has no effect.  This article is no longer anything like the original brought from Wikipedia.  Someone please help![[User:Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer]] 17:59, 23 April 2007 (CDT)
 
Pat, Jason is one of the few that can change it. Send an e-mail to constables@citizendium.org with the request. [[User:Robert Tito|Robert Tito]]&nbsp;|&nbsp;<span style="background:black">&nbsp;<font color="red"><b>[[User talk:Robert Tito|Talk]]</b></font>&nbsp;</span> 18:06, 23 April 2007 (CDT)
