    Bill English: Computer mouse co-creator dies at 91

    The co-creator of the computer mouse, William English, has died aged 91.

    The engineer and inventor was born in 1929 in Kentucky and studied electrical engineering at university before joining the US Navy.

    He built the first mouse in 1963, using an idea put forward by his colleague Doug Engelbart while the pair were working on early computing.

    It would only become commonplace two decades later, when personal home computers became popular.

    Mr English's death was confirmed to US media outlets by his wife.

    Bill English became the first person to use a mouse when he built the prototype at Mr Engelbart's research project at the Stanford Research Institute.

    The idea was Mr Engelbart's, which he described as only being "brief notes" - but the creation was down to Bill English.

    Think I need to explain my joke since no one it seem to have gotten it.  I was punning the shock reaction from people over Kirk and Uhura kissing.  I showed something people would had been MORE shocked over during the 1960's hence Capt Picard's reaction.  Should had figured that out since my reply came after the Kirk and Uhura comments.

    No, it's fine. Everyone understood. Some people just like to get offended.
