Showing Martin Newell and Jim Blinn documents they hadn't seen in 50 years.
Pictured is my copy of Martin's original Utah teapot drawing. The first page is well known, but he had forgotten about the rest.

I also showed a list of UNIX users with his name, as well as several UNIX licenses and his Shaded Picture System proposal.
