The Evolution of the Apple Mouse

Ok, so I'm a bit obsessed with the Apple Mouse. I've written about it before. Sadly old enough to have used the original Desktop Bus Mouse (on a Mac Plus), I've always like the simplicity of design, and although I consider myself a bit of a 'Power User' (always loved that term!) I still appreciate the aesthetic purity of only having one button to press. I even liked the much maligned "puck" that came with the original iMac. The latest Mighty, and now Magic Mouses (yes, that is the correct plural) added multi-button functionality, while retaining simplicity and elegance of design, the Magic Mouse through a (world's first) multi-touch interface I've yet to experience. Have you? If so, please let me know how you got on in the comments.

Anyway, enough of the preamble, here's the meat. Flickr poster Rameko (apologies for the unimaginative bio, all I've been able to find out about him is he's male and 'taken' - sorry girls!)  has posted some images of how the Apple Mouse has evolved over the 25 years of it's existence.  And I think they're fantastic.
