Dr. Graper, late 1970's, sitting in front of a PLATO IV terminal (note the orange gas-plasma screen) in the Education Building PLATO site at the University of Delaware.


The famous "Darth Vader" shot of Dr. Graper, taken by placing his head on the glass of a Xerox copying machine.


Another shot of the Education Building's PLATO site, circa 1980. Note the Control Data IST-1 PLATO terminals on the table in the foreground. Note the PLATO IV and PLATO V terminals (with their orange gas-plasma flat-panel displays) on the tables by the walls. Note that nobody's using the CDC terminals. :-) I suppose there was a reason they used to call it the "friendly orange glow"!


A rare comic strip drawing circa late 1970s.

What!? Are you whining!?!


Why is this man smiling?

This would make a great imprinted image on a mouse pad.
