Now, really, it's a rather novel combination of existing thoughts, finally cheap enough to be handled in a regular LAN environment... but at the same time, it's nice to see they got through their writeup with no reference earlier than 1990, when the first system to implement a mouse (and one of the first with anything approaching a 'GUI') acknowledged the entire concept (http://sloan.stanford.edu/MouseSite/1968Demo.html)... by 1968.
