Over the years I've been nursing a spreadsheet that keeps track of what I consider to be milestones in computing that turn out to be revolutionary, and I tried to stay away from "minutiae".
I understand that this is subjective to a point, but I've really tried to keep it as factual as possible. Natural, it's latest entry is a few years out because it takes a while to see what truly is revolutionary, and of course, it's fluid, because some that may appear to be revolutionary, may not turn out to be so.
I also know that it has holes, and inaccuracies, namely on Linux and some others. That is why I'm posting the link to it here.
Can you guys DL the spreadsheet (it's in excel) and post here your opinions on it's contents for editing? I'll update it as often as I can with what we discuss here. Look for updates embedded in this thread as we go.
Note: the cells in yellow represent areas that I'm still actively looking for information.
Just "Save Target" on: http://homepage.mac.com/PWOBRIEN/Comp_1sts.xls
I really appreciate your opinions and look forward to banging out up with a really solid list, and I hope I don't insult anybody by not including everything
