@RL_Dane definitely Atkinson. Recognizable pattern; esp. in left cheek. They probably used the software that came with the Apple scanner, it used Atkinson dithering.

Ok cool.

I really wish Atkinson got more credit for his genius. He pushed the hardware at least five years ahead of its time.

@RL_Dane Yeah; it's truly amazing what he accomplished!

I remember seeing 386es around 1993 with much slower graphics than what the Lisa had with such a hobbled 68k in 1983. :D

I'm not an Apple fan anymore, but I get pretty ticked when people say that they just ripped off the Xerox PARC. They took a pretty rough idea and made it work well enough on very limited hardware.
The Alto didn't have rounded rects or window regions (partial refresh)
