Could the famous, furless, ferocious computer pointing device be suddenly doomed? Apparently so. With all the touchscreen nonsense on smartphones, tablets, and now Windows 8, the world’s favorite computer pointing device may have a shortened lifespan, soon to join the floppy disk and the CD-ROM in the digital dumpster of destiny.
I remember my first computer mouse. I still have the manual! (There’s a future blog post…) It was a Microsoft two-button mouse. It came with Microsoft Paint as well as a programming guide. Yep, those were the days! The most recent mouse I purchased was a Microsoft Bluetooth wireless mouse. Times do change.
