You're all wrong w.r.t. what/whose machine generated _Luxo, Jr._
Sure, it was done on a CCI box (actually, two), but not Pixar's --
if they even own one.

The poop is: much of the rendering of _Luxo, Jr._ was done by Sam
Leffler of Pixar -- the same Sam Leffler who has contributed much
to the 4BSD project over the years.  Sam was working on the CCI port
of 4.3BSD; he also did the rendering of _Luxo, Jr._ on the two CSRG
CCI boxes, okeeffe.Berkeley.EDU and manet.Berkeley.EDU.

Of course, if you're one who likes to read the credits of films,
then this would be no surprise, since the closing credits explicitly
credit Sam and CSRG, and mention the names of the Berkeley CCI boxes.

So now you know why I have a Pixar _Luxo, Jr._ sweatshirt,
