Na E-bayu je skoro (17.10.) prodat jedan Alto. Cena je sa 1$ dostigla čitavih 30.000$. S obzirom da E-bay od skoro skriva identitet ponuđača, nije poznato ko je kupac.

Citat:Yes,

That's right,

You are looking at a system-complete, never commercially sold Xerox Alto. This is grandfather of all modern computing. First produced in 1973, the Alto was WAY ahead of it's time, including:

1 ) Full ethernet networking

2 ) A 3 button Mouse (first in a non-DARPA computer)

3 ) a Full-page portrait CRT

4 ) Graphical user interface

5 ) The first WYSIWYG word processor

6 ) The first integrated email application

7 ) The first graphical network based computer game (Alto Trek!)

8 ) The first WYSIWYG integrated circuit design software

9 ) The first implementation of the Smalltalk development environment

10) Bitmapped graphics, menu's, icons, the "folder" metaphor for storage, etc....

11) Removable storage - 2.5 Megabyte (yes, megabyte!)
