Sometime
between 1956-1958 an unknown IBM employee wrote a punchcard program
that displayed the above pin-up girl on the screens of the US military's
two billion dollar Semi-Automatic Ground Environment (SAGE) computers.
Some say that the program was a diagnostic tool that showed the pin-up
as a data transfer test. Others contend that it was just geek fun. The
Atlantic's Benj Edwards tells the story of what was one of the first
pieces of figurative computer art. "
