Luxo Jr. was created on a CCI Power/6 known as okeeffe.berkeley.edu.
Okeeffe was donated by CCI to the Berkeley Computer Systems Research
Group. CSRG made the machine available to Pixar for the creation of
Luxo, Jr. Nice machine, and the list at a good price. CCI deserves
credit for them. I just wish I could trade my 8800's for CCIs.

BTW, I don't work for CSRG, I work for the Berkeley Computer Center.
CSRG is responsible for 4BSD, not the CC. Confusing the two will just
make us both mad.
