Somewhere I have a photo of myself sitting at my 3279 when I got an award. I still have a copy of a pre-announce version of a paper on developing colour applications (the doc is printed in colour, unusual for the time). Remember the lightning bolts as the early 3279 models displayed graphics? PS lightning. But IIRC green, which isnt'exactly usual for ordinary lightning. Didn't Mike Cowlishaw do some work on (or with) GDDM? I seem to remember that he mentioned the PS lightning in a doc.
