Does this peripheral look familiar to you? Let me refresh your
memory. Back in 1983, Microsoft released the Microsoft Mouse.
Packaged with Microsoft Word, it came with three programs: a
musicial tutorial, teaching the user how to use a mouse; The Game
of Life, a population simulator to familarize users with using a
command line; and the Multi-Toll NotePad, text-editing
software.
There were two versions available of the Microsoft Mouse: the first
was for use with the IBM PC and came with a plug-in board. The
other was portable across any MS-DOS system, which utilized
low-power CMOS technology.
How much did the Microsoft Mouse cost back then?
USD$195! We've got one in the office under lockdown.
