Oh, just to complicate matters further, the Lisa/Mac project was already
being implemented before Jobs went to PARC.
Also, I believe, though I could be wrong, that the Alto or what ever, didn't
have true overlap capabilities, they fiddled it to make it look like it did,
the Macs/Lisa on the other hand did.
Oh and they had ethernet on display, but Jobs didn't think it would take
off, or be remotely popular, I think its time for a big fat Homer Simpson
DOH!!!
