Hi, George Pake died recently. He led the team at Xerox PARC that produced the Star system, the forerunner of all the commercial GUI/WIMP systems we now use. http://news.independent.co.uk/people/obituaries/story.jsp?story=501284
While surfing around just now looking for information about him, I came across this interesting little snippet which many people may not have seen: http://wombat.doc.ic.ac.uk/foldoc/foldoc.cgi?Douglas+Engelbart It shows 3 video clips from 1968 of Englebart giving one of the first public demos of the mouse and hyperlinking. Work which led directly to the Xerox PARC stuff that Pake led. -- Cheers, Bob
