Did you know that apple invested the first production mouse? The mouse remained relatively obscure until the appearance of the Apple Macintosh; in 1984 PC columnist John C. Dvorak ironically commented on the release of this new computer with a mouse: "The Macintosh uses an experimental pointing device called a ‘mouse’. There is no evidence that people want to use these things. I dont want one of these new fangled devices."
Thought it was a fun nugget of information...interesting how things can turn out! Imagine what the next decade will bring...
