	4	Thierry Bardini's Bootstrapping and M. Mitchell Waldrop's The Dream Machine cover Engelbart's SRI experience and relationship with ARPA. The latter describes the end: "With ARPA headquarters now using NLS on a day-to-day basis, moreover, those deficiencies had become painfully apparent. So in 1975 {Licklider} terminated the SRI contract." Larry Tesler described attitudes at SRI and early PARC in "A CHI Retrospective: 1962-- 1982," June 24, 2004. The slides are at www.nomodes.com. The Mac as tricycle was presented in Engelbart's closing keynote at CHI'85.
