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)

::::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)
 
:::::I reworded yours just a bit.  Would you care to take a stab at writing [[digital revolution]]?  Sounds like a complete article to me![[User:Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer]] 18:34, 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)
