avello500:
does anyone know what os was on the computer xerox made for in-house use that featured a mouse and gui?
thanks in advance.
samtheman:
the gui machines that xerox made were the xerox alto and the xerox star.

cool link.
makes me wonder.
jasonlane:
About what? You've got my attention now, you can say that without making me very curious.
I'd love a collection of old hardware like this, well I have a collection.
2 Mac LC475
1 IBM 5120 (circa 1980)
It still works except I need some OS boot disks to run it.
I'd love some more macs and an Altair (cos they look so cool, but don't do shit) Obviously I'd love all the Xerox machines but you're talkin 1000's $$$
