You must have been reading too many articles about Xerox.  I don't think
any computer / monitor since the Altos has had this capability.

Gee, whiz, that was great stuff.  Has anyone still got the Smalltalk issue
of Byte?  (I probably do somewhere.)

So far as I know, CMU is still using a few Altos-es as print servers
for the 2 page-per-second Xerox laser printers ... both of which are over
10 years old.  Kind of humbling, I guess, but there was the price tag ...
