obviously, Doug Engelbart from Stanford Uni is da inventor of mouse and GUI... but Xerox is da first to apply those into computer OS... I think Xerox has da patent for their ALTO... but not da mouse nor da GUI... however... I wud say da modern use of mouse and GUI are da patent of Xerox (or Apple wud have paid da patent fee to Dr. Engelbart instead of Xerox)... so therez definitely connection between Xerox and mouse-GUI... they are not only a photocopier company... like tat?

You go out of your way to spell things incorrectly and it makes it difficult to read. After getting through your first post, I felt relieved but groaned when I saw you had posted again.
