Alto

Xerox Alto.. the Grandpa of Modern Computing

Designed in 1972 and released in March 1973, Xerox Alto is a revolutionary hardware built by Xerox PARC (Palo Alto Research Center). The innovations brought by Alto included the first-ever Graphical User Interface, LAN, optical mouse, and high-res bitmapped display. The Alto was also the first computer to use a laser printer, another invention by Xerox. The Xerox Alto wasn’t a commercial computer, it was a research prototype used by universities and the Xerox PARC.

  • 120 Alto I and 2,000 Alto II were ever produced (universities used 500 machines)
