Your affection for your Alto takes me back to Stanford in the late '70s, where I first saw the Alto but didn't have an opportunity to use it. In 1980, I had the use of a Xerox Star for a while and was thoroughly spoiled; the consumer machines of that era were frustratingly primitive by comparison.
I had the great good fortune of meeting and hanging out with Doug Englebart (one of my very few heroes) for a bit. He was pleasant and unassuming and quite willing to discuss his and his team's amazing work, unlike some other pioneers in those days. I attended a screening of the Mother of all Demos at PARC; Alan Kaye was there for the occasion, but I didn't have the opportunity to meet him.
As is no doubt apparent, I've been involved with computing in its variety of forms, including mainframes,for a long time — I'm 74 and still at it.
Looking forward to the next installment of your blog. Best, Richard
