I have seen a real old mouse last time in my computer lab back in high school.

It's HUGE (size of a SHOE, I would say) and it CANNOT MOVE around. It's RECTANGLE in shape, with three RECTANGULAR buttons in front. It's kinda like your palm size and as tall as a shoe. Wonder why it's even called a mouse. (The box is kinda like a shoe box!)

Anyway I see the mouse when we were doing some spring cleaning. Threw them all away. Should have kept one for myself... Damn

but i think you guys are confused over GUI instead of the mouse.

i think it was Apple that invented the GUI and now MS is using it. isn't it?

since GUI requires a mouse to interact. therefore MACs have mouse before PC. yes?

So summary
GUI = MAC
Mouse = Xerox
Am i rite??

goldfries · 6th May 2003, 02:20 PM

not sure. maybe Xerox was the one that actually put that invention to use. while Apple made it popular and PC later implemented it with Windows coming alone.

in XT/DOS days i don't need a mouse. well, up to a certain extent i do need.

I think Xerox introduced GUI system using mouse. And Mac copied them.

elton · 6th May 2003, 05:27 PM

Anyway who have the real prove of this????
I also have a same thinking as chai Xerox is the one...
If not y they create mouse>>

goldfries · 6th May 2003, 05:41 PM

hrm. maybe they created a UI but not a GUI. even DOS days you can move mouse cursor around the ASCII bunch of DOS based text pages.

i wouldn't exactly call that GRAPHICAL UI.

Xerox are the ones who created GUI, Apple's Steve Jobs was given a look and was immersely impressed. He then hired the engineers who created/researched on that to work for Apple, thus making them the first 'pc' to have a GUI.
