one of the people I heard that went there was Chuck Thacker, who was one of
the main designers of the Xerox Alto (and Dorado) along with Butler Lampson
(who I might imagine went there too if he's still not at DEC Research).

Larry Tesler is president of a small company (Stagecast) which produces
some Java-based educational software (based on earlier Cocoa project from
Apple).
