I never knew who made the first mouse, but I always thought it came out of xerox parc, so did he work there?

no I am not sure but i think he was an IBM employee when he did it.

did not hear that part of the answer too well as the computer is in the other room away from the tv.

the question was the wired world challenge one on call for help for tuesday 9/23/2003

i was lucky to get the answer of who it was.

so i naturally come here and post the same question to make me look good right?

ok stop laughing i know i am sometime the other end of the horse.

Same here, quite interesting to know. I suppose not long after that they came up with the "point and shoot" comercials.

I remember watching a documentary on Bill Gates and they showed comercials and stuff. It's actually quite interesting how Microsoft started.

I watch that program too, cowboy. Have you seen the guy on there that is so good in Photoshop? Man, he can take a pic and do wonders with it! That guy should have his own show. They have to rush through his instructions so fast I can't even remember what he did.
