<div class="EmailQuote"><font color="black">Wonderful. Now after the Annals gets a new 10-story grand headquarters for its editorial staff, etc, we need to put up a very large statue in front of it of Burt Grad. This has to be at least the 8th or 10th special
issue he and his colleagues have shephered through to publication. Jim<br>

Dear colleagues, <br>
<br>
It brings me pleasure to announce that the latest issue of </font><font color="black"><i>IEEE Annals of the History of Computing
</i></font><font color="black">is now available online. Here is the link to the </font><font color="#084FD1"><u>CSDL</u></font><font color="black"> and to </font><font color="#084FD1"><u>Xplore</u></font><font color="black"> (I am aware that some institutions
have access through only one of these). <br>
<br>
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

providing a deep and varied set of testimonials and insider views. <br>
