Pointless Nostalgia

Hi Folks:

Here's a bit of pointless nostalgia...I found an ancient VHS tape that
had a computer show on it from early '82.  This particular show had a segment
about Smalltalk-80, including an interview with Adele Goldberg.

I put some rather muddy screenshots of the system they were demoing up
on http://kgf.swiki.net/10

I'm not sure what machine this is...they never said if it was an Alto or
something else.  I really like that paint program they were using, though!

(My apologies about the muddy look of the screen grabs...this tape is
almost 2 decades old, recorded on a long dead "original" VHS machine..I'm
pretty sure if I rewound it all the way the tape would come loose from the
reel.)
