[Robert A. Taylor:] “When I sat down at the LINC it had a little six-inch green and white display that looked like an oscilloscope […] You could turn up the speed, type an A on the keyboard, and the A would appear on the screen very quickly—the A was made of dots, like a dot-matrix printout […] You could see that this machine was building up a complicated reality through millions and millions of yes-no decisions.”
