Xerox did so much for modern computing. If only people knew.
The company was run by morons so "Xerox" deserves being synonymous with "company run by morons". But the actual Xerox employees who invented the basic GUI deserve credit for being the great inventors they were. Unfortunately I have no fucking idea who those actual people were.
Take a look at this post. It covers some names and stories about contributions that make modern interfaces what they are today.
Very cool, thanks.
