Happy 45th birthday, Xerox Star, the computer that brought us a full GUI well before Apple and Microsoft

  ‘Brought us’ is generous. The 8010 was prohibitively expensive, as the article says - over $16,500 in 1981.

  Xerox might have invented the GUI, but it wasn’t for you and me. It was Apple and Microsoft who made it accessible to the masses.
