>>What's amiss? If you read the article and compare it to Chuzzlewit's numbers they contradict themselves. For instance in the article, IDC and Dataquest rank HP at six. However, the chart given by Chuzzlewit, HP is 3 or 4...i can't remmeber. ANyways, the numbers in the article don't match the numbers on the chart.

You ever see pics of Engelbart with his wooden mouse? I have always found it a shame Engelbart didn't reap all the $$$ he should of. Wednesday April 29, 4:15 pm Eastern Time Company Press Release Mouse Inventor Receives Computing's Highest Honor The Association For Computing Machinery Honors Douglas Engelbart NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 29,1998-- The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) announced that Douglas Engelbart is the recipient of the 1997 ACM A.M. Turing Award. The award, considered the Nobel Prize of computing, will be presented to Engelbart during the ACM awards banquet May 10, 1998, which will be held in conjunction with ACM's Policy 98 Conference in Washington, DC. Engelbart is honored ''for an inspiring vision of the future of interactive computing and the invention of key technologies to help realize this vision.'' Doug Engelbart has 30 years of experience in predicting, designing, and implementing the future of organizational computing. It was his vision of a computer and a communications based working environment along with the invention of key tools and systems that help to start the personal computer revolution. This revolution has changed how we live and work. Engelbart's many innovations include the computer mouse, multiple on screen windows, groupware and linked hypermedia, as well as on line publishing. After 20 years of directing his own lab at Stanford Research Institute (SRI), and 11 years as senior scientist, first at Tymshare, and then at McDonnell Douglas Corporation, Engelbart founded the Bootstrap Institute. At Bootstrap, he is working closely with industry and government to launch a collaborative implementation of his work. Engelbart has received numerous awards for outstanding lifetime achievement and ingenuity, including the Lemelson-MIT Prize, the Price Waterhouse Lifetime Achievement Award and the IEEE Computer Pioneer Award. The A.M. Turing Award is given annually for technical achievements in the field of computing which are deemed by a jury of leading professionals to be of lasting and significant importance to the computing community. The award is accompanied by a prize of $25,000. Financial support for the ACM A.M.Turing Award is provided by Lucent Technologies Inc [NYSE:LU - news].
