Xerox created the first PC with a GUI, the
Xerox Alto in 1973. They used it in house. The only constructive thing they did with it was to show it to Steve Jobs.
Xerox did come out with a business pc, they introduced one runing CP/M. Xerox then tried to go after businesses with a development of the Alto, the
Xerox_Star, which cost more than most cars in 1981.

Funny, that photo of the Stooges. Ted Healy made a terrible business decision when he fired them. I mean, who remembers Ted Healy, but Larry, Moe and Curly (or Shep), everybody knows who they were.
