[geeks] Lindows needs help

[Gary Nichols]

>From the lindows mailing list:

>>While Microsoft can outspend us with high-priced lawyers and experts,
>>they cannot buy history. We know, of course, that the word "windows" had
>>been used in the industry for years before Microsoft adopted it in the
>>early 1980s for the name of its windowing interface product, Microsoft
>>Windows 1.0. We could, however, use your help in gathering as much
>>evidence as possible to show the usage of the words "windows", "window"
>>and "windowing" before and after 1983, the date Microsoft first filed 
its
>>trademark application. If you have magazine or newspaper articles,
>>academic papers, journal articles, product manuals, advertisements,
>>textbooks, dictionaries, or anything else that uses the terms, we'd like
>>to hear from you. We'd also like to hear from anyone who had personal
>>experience in the industry during those early years and can recall the
>>history of the early windowing products such as Xerox's Star, VisiCorp's
>>VisiOn, Apple's Lisa, Digital Research's GEM, Quarterdeck's DesQ, IBM's
>>TopView, and others. Please email all your findings to
