Yea, I'm calling BS.

Though I'll say maybe... But I'm real sceptical.

Wow, did a quick search, they did have color at the time, wonder what tech they were using.

The Xerox Alto was 1973 and had a color GUI interface more than a decade before Apple or Microsoft had for their OSs.

Also it cost $32,000 in 1973 and was both computer, monitor, and desk all in one.
