But full credit goes to the company where Mr. Taylor worked after leaving ARPA: Xerox. It was at the Xerox PARC labs in Silicon Valley in the 1970s that the Ethernet was developed to link different computer networks. Researchers there also developed the first personal computer (the Xerox Alto) and the graphical user interface that still drives computer usage today.
As a 20 year PARC vet I can attest to that. With Bill Gunning, I am personally responsible for 10-base-T ethernet and laser mice (solo).
I, for one, welcome our new Cybernetic Overlords /.
