> PARC had computers where multiple programs were on the screen simultaneously in "windows", and there was a pointer device used to control them—so cool. Doug Englebart was inspired too; he went back to Stanford Research Institute and invented the mouse to make control of those windows easier. Is that right? Doug Englebart invented mouse in 1963. Unlikely PARC had any windowing system capable machine around that period. UPDATE: PARC was founded 1970. So the influence should definitely be inversed.
