Frank, nice that you posted this - I actually used the article in my humanities class this week - we compared the production of a Pixar film to the creation of a Cathedral in the middle ages. Great blurb, eh?
Mike, Thank YOU for alerting me to this issue, last week. I purchased it and find it to be utterly fascinating in lots of ways..including a small stat on the cover which said (I think) "1 frame= 7 hours of computing time"....there's a math lesson right there...
