Perhaps this would belong in net.micro, but I unsubscribed from it long ago,
when it started to be overwhelming in volume. In any case, here goes...
A colleague of mine asked me: What is the origin of the word 'mouse' to
describe the little box with a wire connecting it to a computer which is used
as an input device, etc.? (this is my bad phrasing of the question; I'm tired
and don't feel like thinking tonight). Please contact me via e-mail if you
have any theories/facts/stories/myths. If there is interest, I will summarize
to the net.
