I saw this demo in 1975. But then it was Alan Kay and Adele Goldberg, neither of whom is presenting this time.
I've used Bravo on an Alto. It was a good editor, the predecessor of Microsoft Word. On the Alto, it was used for programming as well as document preparation. The file format was plain text, then a control-Z, then the formatting information. The Mesa compiler stopped reading at control-Z, so you could put boldface and such in your source code.
Those were cute machines. I used them in the 1980s, when they were obsolete, and Stanford still had a few running.
