Alto System Project: Larry Tesler demonstration of Gypsy
Computer History Museum
Archival footage of Larry Tesler demonstrating Gypsy, the modeless text editor he and Tim Mott built at Xerox PARC, running on the Computer History Museum's restored Alto. It is a long hands-on walkthrough of one of the earliest graphical document editors.
Referenced in discussions of early GUIs and Alto history as a rare first-hand demonstration by the creator.
