From the point where the article introduces raster graphics, it's overly focussed on microcomputers. No mention of the Xerox Alto, equipped with semiconductor memory and more or less the first computer with a bitmap display and a bitmap framebuffer? Or of the SuperPaint system at Xerox, which introduced colour graphics and animation? http://www.rgshoup.com/prof/SuperPaint/ http://www.rgshoup.com/prof/SuperPaint/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SuperPaint http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SuperPaint Both of these machines were up and running from 1973, long before microcomputers brought these things to the masses.
