Hi,
This recent Quora answer contained a little gap - the name of the person
who designed the original logo on the case.
Quick Googling didn't help. Anyone have the trivia answer?

Any other PIC/Pixar/Renderman anecdotes welcome. Sounds like a pretty
fancy bit of hardware for the time.

The answer did include the extra info that it was a stone carver. I
don't see that in Lasseter's bio.

Are any Pixar Image Computers in the hands of collectors? I would love
to have one of those, even if it didn't do anything!

Probably - I remember at least two being listed on eBay over the past five to six years.
They were being offered at ridiculous prices so not sure if anyone bough them but they are
out there.
