<div dir="ltr">Hi Evan,<div><br></div><div>I assume you've been in touch with Murray Turroff.

<p>Thanks everyone for the great suggestions! Tonight I'm teaching
my students about the origins of graphical interfaces, and
realized that I didn't have a good answer ready to the question
of, "But what inspired Bush?"</p>
<p>I am quickly reading Smith, Googling about Otlet/Goldberg, and
running to our university library to get Burke's book.<br>
