[SATLUG] Patents

[Luis Garza]

I remember working for ATT in 1989 and at the New Jersey facility, I saw
their first mice attached to terminals they were about to throw away.  I
was amazed at the size and weight of these monster terminals with these
ugly 3 button mice.  They looked like half of a tennis ball with 3 keys
from an old keyboard attached.  They had the post and springs and stood
high.  These old ATT terminals were from the 1970's for use with the XEROX
systems.  I felt honored and sad that the same time; helping them load
these windowing forefathers to the scrap heap.  I can actually say that I
held one in my hand.

Thank you XEROX - what a great idea.
