Hey i work for Xerox... 
yeah, the machine which inspired so many stuffs 10 years later.

some say it was a fancy project because Xerox had so much money they could make fancy futuristic things like that.
A bit like the concept cars for car manufacturers.

Is there even a Xerox Alto emulator somewhere ? can there be demos and game on those ?
