Douglas Adams explains how and why the animated "computer graphics"
sequences of the Hitchhiker's Guide TV series really worked. Includes footage
from behind the scenes at the animation company and from the BBC studio floor
in 1980, where an ingenious contraption gave the Guide its imagery in that
pre-digital age.

I was involved with Wayne Barsanti, during the mid to late 1990s, in a company
called - Image-in-IT, and continue to know and work with Wayne since we
closed the company. I was the technical partner and Wayne managed the sales
and support operations.
Image-in-IT was established on the back of a very profitable Networked Apple Macintosh based On-Demand-Colour business. Microsoft Windows NT networking had been utilised from the outset and Image-in-IT, in collaboration with Microsoft and Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), developed a potentially lucrative prototype of a Windows NT based version of - a top end Apple Macintosh On-Demand-Colour workstation and print solution.
Unfortunately, Microsoft were unable to develop their software, within the timescale of the window of opportunity open to us, and Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) were taken over by Compaq & subsequently both by Hewlett Packard (HP). The licence agreement between DEC and Samsung ended such that we could not guarantee long-term supply or support for the DEC Alpha chip-set on which our competitive workstation was based.
