Where's the mouse? Seriously? Was it "sold separately"?
You have to forgive me -- I was 11 in 1986.

WHAT mouse??
Only Macs had 'em.
I remember being amazed by the "spraypaint" feature + mouse in the Mac paint program of the time.

I was considered quite the radical in 1988 or so for getting a mouse with my PC. I also ran Windows 1.0, Word 1.0 and Excel 1.0. That was about the time that the mouse was being degraded as an "upside down track ball." I remember the t-shirts that were big sellers at PC conventions that said "Real men don't use mice."

Quite possibly. Though as far as I can remember, computers had mice--even the dinky Mac LC's with System 6 (and later, System 7) the grade school lab had...
Then again, I was born in '86...8^)
