Frontier Talk: UNIX V4 and the Utah Teapot

DescriptionWe recently recovered UNIX V4 from a 1974 magnetic tape at the University of Utah. This version of the UNIX operating system, thought to have been lost, was the 19th copy distributed to the public, just months after the first public announcement. It was originally acquired by Martin Newell while managing the computer graphics laboratory, and it was likely connected to his foundational research in procedural modeling and the famous Utah teapot. This talk shows the unique insight this artifact provides into the dawn of computer graphics and the history of UNIX.
