(stuff about the Start deleted)

Note that Larry Tesler was a former employee of Xerox working, I beleive
in the Learning Research Group (LRG) at PARC.  This is where both Smalltalk
and the Star's interface got their start.  

More trivia:  Other former Xerox, now Apple employees include Ted Kaehler
(HyperCard) and Alan Kay (Dynabook).
