Douglas Engelbart invented the computer mouse and was an early pioneer of the Information Technology profession. As such he is an excellent pick to be our IT Thought of the Day Quote of the Week Series feature.

I like Information Age quotations. I find some of them very inspirational and like to carry a new one around about every week. I thought that i could share mine with you from time to time. This week it will be a funny quote. You can read more about the author at Wikipedia.
