    I think it's actually correct. It said first mouse for PCs not first mouse ever.

    Hmmm,

    Not really, I believe that Xerox, Apple and Acorn were making PCs with mice well before Microsoft.

    Nihil i think your missing the point lol, the article is saying that microsoft made the first mouse for PC, but if you look closely at the computer that the kid is using in the picture you will see on the case, that it's an actual Apple Computer, but yet the Article is about Microsoft lol..

    Kind of off the subject, but I remember when the term 'PC' was only used to describe an IBM-compatible system. An Apple wasn't considered a 'PC', it was just an Apple, as if it were a toy instead of a Personal Computer.

    Dig the irony in the pic, though
    "entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem"

    "entities should not be multiplied beyond necessity."
