gimme a break !
Because Singer-Link already had graphics using projection monitors with
resolutions upto 1000x1000 for their military simulators as far back as
1980
- raster not vector. It didn't that many
colors yet, about 64, but
still.
We designed many of the computing systems for
their simulators while at
SEL
- even Rediffusion.
Sarcasm and/or ridiculing words such as "defined" is oft wasted on this
group!
Why do you s'pose I put "defined" in quotes?
SGI may have been the best-known,
but surely nobody would think that they were "first"!
