Just to clarify, not trying to correct anyone here, the third attendee was Bob Sproull, author of "Principles of Interactive Computer Graphics"?

Never heard of this book, just got it for £0.55 (ok, £3.35 including postage).

In my unsuccessful search to get it even cheaper, I came across this book, seems to be by the same Bob Sproull: https://www.routledge.com/The-Problem-Solving-Problem-Preven...

From graphics to management.

I haven't reconsidered "Principles of Interactive Computer Graphics" from a more modern perspective, but it sure was a bible. Great book.

And not to be confused with UC Berkeley's Robert Sproull, though I suspect he'd already died prior to this story's timeline:

Yes.

I have that book. Took me a while to find a copy after reading it in college.

Just went looking for it myself. Archive.org has it: https://archive.org/details/principlesofinter00newm

Doesn’t smell the same.
