PC premiered 40 years ago
Tuesday, December 9th, 2008That’s right. 40 years ago today. Who knew? I certainly didn’t. So I read this SF Gate story with interest. Think about it…40 years ago. Back when Gates was 12 and Jobs was 13.
“The Dec. 9, 1968, unveiling of the primitive device with a mouse and interactive screen – in a now-legendary demonstration by its inventor, Douglas Engelbart of the Stanford Research Institute – drew a rousing, standing ovation from the computing cognoscenti who recognized the significance of what they had just seen.”
And check this out. The first mouse. Some cool images at CNET.
