And also in:

    Goldberg, Adele, ed. @ux(A History of Personal Workstations).
    New York: ACM Press, 1988.

Which was recently published and made available from the ACM.  It is
the edited proceedings of the January 1986 conference of the same
name, which brought together many of the people who stubbornly
persisted in developing personal workstations since the 1950s against
the grain of the computer industry.  It is fascinating!

Unfortunately, the banquet address by Alan Kay, which is available on
videotape, was not adapted into an essay; Kay seems to have forsaken
the discipline required to communicate ideas in an essay.  This is a
shame, for Alan Kay has had a profound impact on the technology and
has a lot of valuable things to say.

Also, while I'm writing, the original discussion was about the desktop
metaphor -- readers may be interested in the following short piece:

    Malone, Thomas W. ``How Do People Organize Their Desks?  Implications
    for the Design of Office Information Systems''. @ux(ACM Transactions
    on Office Information Systems), January 1983.
