SAGE is the first one I can think of; I don't recall the predecessors at MIT having any sort of graphical display. Then, after the first machine, besides SAGE, what systems were utilizing graphic displays in the 1950s? Did the IBM commercial derivative of SAGE use any graphic displays? -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/download/index.html> Legalize Adulthood! <http://blogs.xmission.com/legalize/>
