The Vintage Computer Festival is pround to sponsor the Xerox Alto 30th Birthday Bash! The Alto is the ground-breaking computer that spawned a whole new paradigm of computing. Join us as we celebrate with live, running systems and a panel of distinguished Alto movers and shakers.

The panel discussion will be held on Saturday, October 11 at 1:00pm and will feature:

• John Ellenby - Production and Engineering Manager of the Xerox Alto II
• Gary Starkweather - Inventor of the Laser Printer
• Peter Deutsch - Xerox PARC Alumnus

We will also have several running Xerox systems, provided in part by the Digibarn, including:

• Alto II/XM
• 8010 "Star"
• 6085 "Daybreak"
• ...and more!

If you've only heard about the legendary Xerox Alto and want to experience first-hand the ground-breaking technology of this machine then you will certainly want to come to this year's Vintage Computer Festival and be a part of the celebration!

Bruce Damer of the DigiBarn is organizing this event, and more information is available on their Alto 30th Birthday page.
