Help finding amusing Byte cartoon

Dear all,

Way back in the late 80s when I was doing my degree, our systems analysis lecturer showed us a cartoon which I believe came from Byte magazine and must have first been published in the 70s. It spoofed the systems analysis and design process by showing a series of drawings of a simple garden swing hanging from the branch of a tree, with subtitles like 'What the user asked for', 'What the designers thought the user wanted', 'What the designers specified', and so on.

Today's Google challenge, if you choose to accept it, is to find said cartoon on the web for me. I've been looking for hours on both Byte.com, normal Google and Google Images and I can't flippin' well find it!

Cheers!

cbl.

ps SSADM - has anyone ever actually used it, or was it just a way to ruin the lives of computer studies students?
