  • Very cool video. Too bad the horrendous background music almost ruins it.

  • Beautifully designed machine, great VDU (perfect for spreadsheet/letter work), which is only coming into use again now. Well done Douglas Engebart and Xerox. Very smart concept and design layout for 1970-1973. The 'Chord-Set' though was never meant to be, and was a shit to use/learn! (from what I understand of users comments)

  • The background music is the best, Prodigy -> Spitfire

  • @fmpanic000 Fuck you.

  • Too bad people don't yet understand the major impact of the Alto.

    We should totally hack a windows 7 Alto version. And instead of the CPU unit it can actually have a usb-powered beer fridge :), heck i would even keep the chord-set and use it for gaming shortcuts.

  • FAKE AND GAY

  • i see why they called it "alto" that mofo is TALL!

  • why did you have to put apple products in the video......FUCK APPLE

  • that was actually very interesting

  • @MisterZellers dude proigy is awsome

  • I dont like the screen. It looks sideways and I would always have an impulse to rotate it.
