Dear colleagues, 
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It brings me pleasure to announce that the latest issue of <i>IEEE Annals of the History of Computing
</i>is now available online. Here is the link to the <a href="https://www.computer.org/csdl/magazine/an/2024/04" target="_blank">CSDL</a> and to <a href="https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/tocresult.jsp?isnumber=10783649&punumber=85" target="_blank">Xplore</a> (I am aware that some institutions
 have access through only one of these). </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This is a Special Issue guest edited by Burton Grad and Dave Kasik and is entitled ‘Computer Aided Design I: Forming the CAD Software Industry’. It’s a real bumper issue, possibly
<i>Annals’</i> largest ever, packed with various perspectives on the CAD industry. Of particular note are the many contributions from individuals who worked in the field, including in leadership positions, providing a deep and varied set of testimonials and
 insider views. </div>
