LowEndMac: The Pixar Story
"On April 10, 1973, while many of his colleagues were at the debut of the
Xerox Alto prototype hardware displaying a picture of Sesame Street's
Cookie Monster, Shoup was obsessing over digital video. A floor below the
other engineers, Shoup was seated in front of a black & white video camera
hooked to one of the lab's minicomputers recording the first ever digital
video. He had created a simple frame buffer, revolutionary in its day and
indispensable today." |
