Definately "Whitney" museum-worthy.

This is very good stuff John Whitney should be knighted.

I think it's more likely that digital technology will prove to be a shortcut to developing better analog technology. Analog is just about as "real time" as you can get, it just takes a shitload of knobs and dials to manipulate the electrical impulses. Whereas a digital system does most of the dial turning for you.

Thanks for the tip, I bet that will be an interesting book/pdf to peruse. We take for granted now how cutting edge this stuff was.

have a look at Gene Youngblood's 'expanded cinema'. you can get the whole thing as a pdf from 'UBUWEB', or for not too much money from Abe Books. amongst LOTS of other stuff, there's a description and photo of the whitneys' analogue computer printers.

Or, rather, the Japanese PSX, which was the first device to use the Sony XMediaBar user interface.
