    "Proving that things were way cooler back in the day, is the world's first computer mouse. Made by Douglas Engelbart in 1964, it "consisted of two gear-wheels positioned perpendicular to each other -- allowing movement on one axis." Just look at this thing. Ergonomic shape, great button placement -- and it's made of wood. If that ain't style, then I don't know what is. Sure the front has rotted out, but who cares. My mouse looks like that, and it's brand new. That's just what happens when porn doesn't download fast enough and you start slamming the mouse on the desk."

    Yeah.... Back then it is known as "X-Y Position Indicator for a Display System". Quite mouthful to pronounce it. Glad it's known as mouse now. :D

    The word 'mouse' must have been coined....way after these shown pieces were fabricated....

    They hardly would have inspired anybody to name it a Mouse !!!
    Have never seen a square or a rectangle mouse before ;):rolleyes:
