The company I worked for, had a Xerox system. It looked like an 860, but may have actually been more modern.

Now that was ahead of its time.

We also had Osborne and Kaypro computers, but the 860 was arguably the inspiration for the Mac. The operating system presented a mouse (actually, I think it was a touchpad)-driven, icon-based GUI. I remember seeing the “trash can,” on the bottom right.

They didn’t let us mensch engineers near the thing.
