- MODEM PROTOCOL DOCUMENTATION (textfiles.com)
Many people ask me for documentation on my modem protocol, i.e. the one used in the various modem programs in CPMUG, on volumes 6, 25, 40, 47… so here it is. At the request of Rick Mallinak on behalf of the guys at Standard Oil with IBM P.C.s, as well as several previous requests, I finally decided to put my modem protocol into writing. It had been previously formally published only in the AMRAD newsletter.
- Memex (Wikipedia)
Memex is a hypothetical electromechanical device for interacting with microform documents and described in Vannevar Bush’s 1945 article “As We May Think”. Bush envisioned the memex as a device in which individuals would compress and store all of their books, records, and communications, “mechanized so that it may be consulted with exceeding speed and flexibility”. The individual was supposed to use the memex as an automatic personal filing system, making the memex “an enlarged intimate supplement to his memory”. The name memex is a portmanteau of memory and expansion.
