Well, to be fair I haven't yet read the article (I probably should to pick up any additional info for my book), but it does get tiring to read these myopic things. I really hate it when I read or see a "history of computers" on TV and see no mention whatsoever of anything but Apple, Dos, and Windows. They really love ignoring Commodore and Atari, to say nothing of the Trash-80 or TI-99 or what have you. I don't expect them to cover really obscure stuff in a brief article or program, but it should at least be mentioned or covered where it's important.
That said, I'm sure that many people will pick up my book, turn to the index, not find Gates of Delirium, and say "THIS GUY DIDN'T DO HIS RESEARCH!!!" lol.
