It's nice to see that these same guys are restoring a Xerox Altos computer. I had the fortune to have access to one of those in the Comp Sci building and wrote most of my term papers on it. There was a 500 pound Diablo laser printer two floors down that would output jobs from the Altos. This was cutting edge technology. You could actually change the font of text and draw pictures with a thing they called a "mouse."
For some reason Xerox did not see the value of the Altos computer and (IIRC) gave it away to two guys building computers in their garage. It eventually became the Macintosh computer and changed the world.
