[SIGCIS-Members] Graphics

[Jacob Gaboury]

This is exciting, thank you for sharing Dag! If I can I'd like to also flag
my own forthcoming book on the early history of computer graphics from
1950-1980, with a focus on the University of Utah program. It will be
released in August 2021 from MIT Press:
