TC>Your citation is wrong, the first mouse shipped as part of a personal computer system would have been the Lisa.

The Lisa was first introduced in January 1983 (announced on January 19) at a cost of $9,995 US ($20,600 in Nov. 2006 dollars).

One would be hardpressed to call $20,000 computer a personal computer.

Give me a break. Do you have any other hairs you want to split?

Besides, Apple was the one that called it a personal computer, and it certainly wasn't a workgroup system. I'll grant you that like so many other Apple products it was overpriced.
