A lot of people spent a lot of time talking about Lisp machines, 4GL, web portals, push technologies... the list goes on.

4GL like SQL? Push technologies like SMS, IM, and websockets? You could use better examples :)

I think I got the number wrong; 5GL was the "generation" that really fizzled. As for "push technologies", that is of course a much too broad term. I was thinking specifically of PointCast, which I believe brought the technical term into the business-hype limelight.
