Drag and Drop

(More merit for Monty)
Douglas Engelbart, who did lots of dull stuff I don’t really understand and also invented the computer mouse, has died at the age of 88. The prototype, a wooden, two wheeled piece of crap that looks like it would earn a C at a high school science fair, was patented by his employer, the Stanford Research Institute and licensed to Apple Computer for $40,000, with Engelbart not receiving a dime in royalties. So not that bright a guy after all.
