It's been rescanned from the original negative. http://web.archive.org/web/20121019150128/http://www.computa... (tiff)

the artificial outrage over what is a simple beautiful photo lead me to actually go and find the original magazine and purchased it.

should we ban it because someone knows the "dirty" secret of scanlines 600+? does it make some new engineers uncomfortable or feel negative? is it erasing history to bury it for future publication? are we truly being puritanical enough? and only for just the right causes?

who knows? i don't. i just bought it to read the articles.
