Xerox Alto, 1973

The Alto zone references the highly influential early PC developed at Xerox PARC. The Alto pioneered many aspects of modern computing we take for granted today, including the graphical user interface (GUI), computer mouse, and Ethernet networking. Whilst the Alto itself was not a commercial success, it influenced many in Silicon Valley at the time. This included Steve Jobs, who after vising PARC in 1979 integrated many of the Alto's ideas into the Lisa and Macintosh systems.
