[edit] Use of the term "database"

• Next: Prehistoric Databases Found on the Moon takes offense to the use of the word "database" in this article. It's not clear to me whether that is in fact the term used by the original investigators so I didn't want to change it myself. Samw 03:58, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

From dictionary.com database: A collection of data arranged for ease and speed of search and retrieval. Some of the things people write on the internet borders on the bizarre. In fairness though. I wonder what are the 1918's and 1921's. 08:12, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Young whippersnappers like this here Penraker feller might not believe this, but us old-timers managed to organize information back before there were computers. We set up systems using a product we called "paper" which we made marks on with a thing we called "ink" or sometimes a machine called a "typewriter" and then organized using a system based on the "alphabet" and stored in objects we called "file cabinets". And then we went home and hung out with our friend "Barney" while our wife "Wilma" cooked some dino-burgers for our supper. MK2 20:57, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
