2023 is the 50th Anniversary for #guiOS driven computer SYSTEMS and #WYSIWYG . Fans of #retrocomputers can see the few left of 2.000 original #XeroxAlto's at #CHM, Mountain View, CA. and #VCF 's like the #vcfb in mid October, #Berlin.
A portrait of Chuck tHacker will be added soon into our #gfkDSGN #vectorgraphics and if you share this #SVG point in #itHistory with us or among the #Fediverse we have to hurry even more #DTP the next #Inkscape & #FOSS #screenshot's

The Xerox Alto, which debuted in the early spring of 1973, is uncannily familiar today, because we are living in a world of computing that the Alto created. Here's how the Alto came to be.

Fantastic #IEEESpectrum article on the Xerox Alto personal computer and the many innovations that came from it to revolutionize personal computing.
Bonus: the article has gorgeous photos of the Alto in use at Xerox in the 1970s.

The amazing story of how the modern world was born:

One thing missing from the article is that Steve Jobs would spend much of his life taking credit for the innovations he stole from PARC and the Alto.

Have you been aware that we are now living in a world of computing created by Alto in the Xerox PARC R&D laboratory? It debuted in the early spring of 1973.
The Alto was built to tuck under a desk, with its monitor, keyboard, and mouse on top. It was totally interactive, responding directly to its single user.
#SteveJobs and a whole team from #Apple toured PARC in 1979. Viewing Alto’s graphical user interface, Jobs had what he later described as an epiphany, one that reoriented his efforts at Apple forever after. He quickly hired Larry Tesler from PARC.
PARC researcher Charles Simonyi left for #Microsoft , where he would work to turn Bravo into Word and launch Microsoft into the world of application software.
In the early 1980s, an entire group of researchers left PARC to start #Adobe.

This looks to be the exact #LOGO turtle that was used at my school when I was young. It’s from a video by Computer History Museum called Yesterday's Computer of Tomorrow: The Xerox Alto │Smalltalk-76 Demo where Dan Ingalls walks through using Smalltalk-76. The video ends with a tour of the Learning Research Group (LRG) at Xerox PARC that shows the turtle next to a giant roll of paper for the turtle to draw on. 🐢 #RetroComputing #VintageComputing #XeroxPARC #XeroxAlto #PenPlotter

I downloaded the #AppleLisa OS source code and so can you!
At 7MB, you will need at least nine 3.5" 800K floppies! 💾 🤣
