CBS will be trying out a new graphics technique for replays
during the Superbowl this Sunday. You can read about it at:

About 25 years ago, when SSEC was struggling to animate
GOES or SMS images, our founding director Verner Suomi
saw instant replays of football plays on TV. He figured
that whatever was doing that could animate his satellite
image, found out they used analog disks, and got McIDAS
to use them for the first animation workstation.
Cheers,
Bill
