Always wondered how Apple got access to the GUI interface and especially the
Mouse....  I knew it was invented at PARC, but the connection that Xerox had
invested in Apple, was not known to me.....

Love the stories......

As an aside, when I was an engineering student (EE) I used some Haloid Xerox
equipment to make printed circuit boards....   it was old then.....
