In many ways, this was my introduction to the possibilities of exhibits made of simple materials, deep understanding, and imagination. When IBM commissioned anonther collection and put it on display in Manhattan, that was a sign that we were moving beyond the era of plywood and working prototypes. Thanks for the memories, Tom - and the inspiration to post an account of Looking at the Light.
