It’s the 50th anniversary of the #XeroxAlto! The #IEEESpectrum has a good article (linked below) and the cover photo is a bit of a flashback. My first computer at Xerox was an Alto (then a #XeroxDolphin and then a #XeroxDandelion). We all had that same table and chair and some had that same potted plant.

I got lucky and inherited a bean bag chair from someone. They were cool/popular at the time.

Does this ⬇️ anecdotal report by #AlanKay shed some light on the similarity?
