[SIGCIS-Members] BoingBoing

[Ceruzzi, Paul]

My illustration from an ad for the ERA drum made it into BoingBoing:

I found lots of similar ads when I was researching that book. Megan Prelinger published a book of similar ads ("Another Science Fiction") about the space program. We've talked about the possibility of a similar book from computer & electronics journals.
