Bill, The Xerox machine was an "Alto." Check out this page for a different take on the history: mackido.com It's from a Mac site and thoroughly disclaimered. But this guy (David Every) is a reasonable guy. We've talked on several occasions, and although he can occasionally be a little zealous on issues of principle, he is an open-minded thinker and not a historical revisionist. All that to say, I think his take on the facts is probably pretty accurate. Let me know if you find Xerox's marketing disaster documented. I'm curious to see if it foreshadows any of Apple's marketing blunders. Dirk
