Should LiteLink refer to "infrared" rather than "infered"?

replies: text: geesh, it has been 25 years and folks still can't spell Asher Edleman....the company was already on the skids of its own creation by the time Edleman arrived (and he was well onboard when I left in 87). All he did was sweep up the mess that upper mgmt had created, such as ignoring DOS and the legion of customers who wanted it. The "you will take RMS and love it" attitude killed them. Trust me the exodus of talent had begun long before Edleman arrived. The vulture never kills its food. Ken (talk) 18:37, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

I am not sure if this change deserves to be discussed or should be made right away. And if it should, then how do I make the edit?--Atw1996 (talk) 17:46, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

message: I am curious as to who the author or authors are to this article. Several times I have tried to add and correct the list of founders to include my father Jerry martin in this list and it has been removed. Apparently you are not aware of Datapoints history or you had some beef with him and chose to show disrespect but not adding him. My father is the only surviving member. Many of you are not aware that Gus Roach chose not to sign a multi-million dollar deal with IBM which would have put Datapoint on the map and made it a household name. You may not be aware that all the buildings that Datapoint had were designed by my father. My father contributed a lot to Datapoint and deserves the recognition and respect as a part of Datapoints History. To willfully ignore that not only does not only do a disservice to him but to you as a writer as well. I can be contacted at ericscottmartin@yahoo.com  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ericscottmartin (talk • contribs) 13:35, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

message: My father worked these machines at Uniroyal.  They made tires and nagahide (synthetic leather).  We had the 1100 model in our house which had the punch card size screen and four 8 inch drives.  The entire chasis was a desk.   I believe that the 2200 was the successor and much faster which we also had.  I think the mention of the 3300 and 2200 as the earliest is inaccurate.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.48.6.139 (talk) 16:46, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: The 1100 series was a later, lower cost machine that used Floppies instead of cassette tape. The 1100 series was more of a stand-alone system and a real forerunner of the PC. Ken (talk) 03:53, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

message: Who wrote this?  There was never an Arcnet Card in the 2200.  Arcnet was in a large external box connected to the 50 pin parallel port.  The same was true for the 5500 and the 6600.  It was not until the 8800 that an Arcnet card was developed.  I know because I designed it!  I also designed the tape deck boot loader.
Also Arcnet stands for Attached Resource Computer Network.  The original name was Dosnet, then Internet, but that was trademarked.  So Jonathan Schmidt came up with the name Arcnet in a meeting that I was attending.
