What about Alan Kays FLEX machine (a very early (69) personal computer, with OOP and graphics)? Someone should write about that too.

I have added a note about this, but little more. Anyone who knows the machine better might want to expand on it. At this point, the page has become a disambiguation page. There are four different Flex's discussed here! -Lexspoon (talk) 16:21, 27 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Almost twenty years later, it might be covered already in Wikipedia, but I stumbled across Kay's thesis here:

Sadly, Chilton Computing doesn't seem to have any PerqFlex materials, probably being beyond the considered applications of the PERQ in that environment. PaulBoddie (talk) 10:29, 22 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

Some Flex papers are available at RSRE Malvern Flex papers. There is also The Varieties of Capabilities in Flex, which is quite informative. PaulBoddie (talk) 10:31, 22 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
