The Parc group came along long after the days of the Infoton's
and Beehives that co-existed with our KSR's (and 026 and 029 punches)
on the PDP-10's and the 360/67 at CMU, and in any case the mouse was 
invented in 1963, it just did not get a good use until the late 70's. 
We still had a couple of the Parc machines around for game playing 
as late as 1983 I think.

I actually still had my own KSR as late as 1989, but I gave it
away before I moved over to Ireland. And yes, the first Glass
TTY's were indeed a direct emulation of the ASR/KSR TTY's. 

TTY => TeleTYpe, ie the ASR/KSR, just another example of how
immortal layers of technology are.
