295 ;;Quote: ZOG used as a computer-assisted management system for the USS Carl Vinson
295 ;;Quote: there should be a single UserInterface for all computing tasks
296 ;;Quote: the intelligence of a system is frozen in content and structure of its database
296+ ;;Quote: the human-computer interface should be a flexible tool instead of an intelligent agent
296 ;;Quote: direct manipulation: visual representation; incremental commands with visual effect
296 ;;Quote: ZOG database should handle hundreds of thousands of frames without performance degradation
297 ;;Quote: Hypertext should have a strong preference for tree structures
299 ;;Quote: frames do not need scrolling if they are the size of the display
300 ;;Quote: ZOG used to manage the ZOG project; contained all documents, software, reports, schedules, etc.
301 ;;Quote: most of ZOG source code and supporting documentation in frames; frames are program blocks in a top-down decomposition
304 ;;Quote: novices learn ZOG navigation in half an hour and adding material in two hours
304 ;;Quote: experienced ZOG users like ZOG
306 ;;Quote: only one ZOG process interacts with users; simpler than one process per window
306 ;;Quote: a large shared database is a 'commons' for developing and sharing data
307 ;;Quote: disorientation in ZOG is short-lived due to adequate means to recover from being lost
307 ;;Quote: ZOG frames are updated atomically; this takes a second or two on the PERQ
