In that posting, I talked about a picture that I wished I&#8217;d had to send in, of my son Blake, sitting at his grandmother&#8217;s Unix terminal. Well, we finally found it. Are we too late for the contest? I guessed that the picture was of him at 3 or 4. It&#8217;s actually from the Spring of 1989, so he&#8217;s just shy of 2. His grandmother was a researcher at Bell Labs and she had a dumb term in her house. Blake is working in a Unix drawing program (ever the artist, that kid). Look at him work that mouse.
