- Interestingly, in the 1968 Metropolitan Detroit Science Fair, the first
- prize in Physics was just such an attempt, using an IBM 360 Model 45.
- The output was a 60 x 60 grid, of zeroes. The program didn't work, but
- the attempt (and programming) was rewarded. An actual hologram was
- produced using photographic means, and the student wrote a program to
- model the process. Don't know the name of the student or what he's
- doing now. (I snared the first prize in Mathematics and Computers that
- year, and we all went on a field trip to Burroughs computer to see
- computers being made ((with wire-wrap boards!)) )
