Actually, according to the book "FUMBLING THE FUTURE" GUI's as we know them
today owe a hell of a lot to the Alto (the Star's predecessor), the whole
anything you can do with a paper and ink metaphor came from PARC, as did the
modelessness (can that possibly be a word? <Grin>), Laser scanning and
printing, ethernet, and oodles of other goodies...in fact they really invented
DTP! Seems they had desktop based publishing software running on Alto systems
in beta test at an actual publisher back in the middle 70's!
