I'm sure its out there somewhere, but wouldn't it be cool to see a family tree of computers and their data entry/code editing methods? For example, and this is of course entirely fabricated: Emacs was written using Vi which was written using edlin which was written on such and such a machine using some other editor which was originally recompiled for that machine by b;ah-de-blah using the first cross-compiler on a watchmajig20000 which was originally coded up using pencil and paper and entered into memory as a series of pokes and executed by the whose-it kernel originally written by some guy in 19xx using punchcards on a dagnabit using a whopping 8k core memory. or something like that.
