Since the talk was already posted yesterday, here's another great related video that is well worth watching: Dan Ingalls demonstrating Smalltalk 76 on a restored Xerox Alto.

This is where it all started and it's truly amazing what they achieved on such limited hardware.

I loved how he nuked the image by entering wrong code. Having a live system is awesome, but in instances like this, we should start thinking about Kay’s notion of “computers all the way down”, i.e. virtualization. So no matter how much corruption you do to a system, it should be still able to fully restore its functions without a reboot.
