    "Programmers have been overwhelmingly enthusiastic about Java because it was designed from the ground up for the Internet. JavaScript is a natural fit, since it's also designed for the Internet and Unicode-based worldwide use. JavaScript will be the most effective method to connect HTML-based content to Java applets."

    It is widely known that the #XeroxAlto pioneered many aspects of modern computing, or at least integrated them into the #userInterface we still use today.

    But it also featured the first #modalEditor with #Bravo (although they eventually replaced it with the modeless #BravoX).
