The Xerox Alto from 1973. It still puzzles me why Xerox did not dominate the mini computer market. This machine was so far ahead of it’s time, first machine with a mouse, one of the first if not the first with a graphical user interface, WYSIWYG editing of documents on a portrait format display. Apple and Microsoft later (infamously) lifted many of these concepts and features for their product lines.
