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.

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.
