The mouse is more than just a stretch. Alan always says that the mouse
was Doug Engelbart's invention and that he had no part in it. But I
will be interested in what Alan has to say about this.

PS For those of you who don't know me, my name is Adam Guren and I am
interning at Viewpoints Research Institute with Alan, Kim and Pat this
summer. (I don't believe that I have introduced myself on the list
before, but I have met a bunch of you at Viewpoints).

Actually, I think the *mouse* might be a bit of a stretch, but for the
rest,
well, HP has good reason to be enthusiastic.
