> In 1994-1995, all the pieces for digital cinema were there, but they weren't integrated, and there were no installed projectors.

I agree with that. The article's quote from Pixar's "Making The Cut at Pixar" book was that the technology wasn't there (computer chips fast enough, storage media large enough, compression sophisticated enough) and I--along with the comment I replied to--disagree with that conclusion.
