Fascinating. I wonder what other peripherals I should put on my calendar. I bought my mouse a mousepad to celebrate the occassion.
Touch screens are for me, no offense to you mice people.

the keyboard is over a century old, the QWERTY layout was introduced sometime in the 1870s (and it wasn't the first attempt at creating a typewriter keyboard)...

well said. Death to rodents!
