Thanks, Will. A mild sigh whil= e reading it though because history seems to often forget Jack Hawley's role= .   Truth is he did not invent it, but he >>is<< the o= ne that made them and got people to use them (the Xerox Alto's used a Hawley= Mouse, DEC would use it, E&S used them etc.).  As this article poi= nts out, he made about 80% of all the mice used in the 1970s:  https://www.oldmouse.com/mouse/hawley/  - certa= inly the first ones I used at CMU before we got the Altos and then after the= first Alto's appeared.   

Tek's Magnolia used a= flavor of the Hawley mouse in 1979 [the ones with buttons horizontal/parall= el to the 'body' - the original Alto mouse the buttons were horizontal a= nd colored), but I don't remember what 3Rivers PascAlto used - I think so, b= ut I don't remember.

All,

About a week ago, Bill English passed away. He was a Xerox guy, who along with Doug= las Engelbart of "Mother of all demos" fame, created our beloved mouse:

I remember, back in the mid-1980's being part of a focus group evaluating Microsoft's mouse. Wow, time flies.
