"I'm an architect. My daughter designed my mouse pad with Frank Lloyd Wright-style stained glass windows."
Malaya S., mother of 9-year-old.

"Kids made Mouse Houses and Mouse Pads for gifts. Their themes included snowboards and dragons!"
Daren Y., after-school activity leader.

The very first computer mouse made its debut in 1968 during a multimedia display by Douglas Engelbart and his colleagues at Stanford Research Institute. Engelbart was a graduate student at UC Berkeley when he decided to pursue his dream of developing systems of information organization to enhance the human intellect.
