The Alto, created in 1973 by Xerox PARC, is famous in computing lore. It is perhaps one of the most innovative computers of all time. Microsoft and Apple both "borrowed" from it freely, especially regarding the graphical user interfaces still very much in use today.

 

The placard says, "Xerox PARC innovations that made the Alto seem so revolutionary include the graphical user interface, Ethernet, WYSIWYG editing and printing, and the Smalltalk object-oriented programming language."
