Who cares about the mouse, command line uber alles.

It was Engelbart's lab that was node #2 of ARPANET, and thus the nascent internet was born. Regardless of money, I cannot fathom how incredible it would be to a) have Engelbart's vision of networked computers and their impact on society and b) actually have the opportunity to stand on the doorstep of accomplishing it and seeing it take off. Truly a career and a life fulfilled.

Amazing stuff.
