    Ethernet is Still Going Strong After 50 Years

    The Xerox Palo Alto Research Center in California has spawned many
    pioneering computer technologies including the Alto--the first
    personal computer to use a graphical user interface--and the first
    laser printer.

    The PARC facility also is known for the invention of Ethernet, a
    networking technology that allows high-speed data transmission over
    coaxial cables. Ethernet has become the standard wired local area
    network around the world, and it is widely used in businesses and
    homes. It was honored this year as an IEEE Milestone, a half century
    after it was born.
