Thoughts of the Bored

I love the mouse icon on this Slashdot story:

Slashdot's GUI topic icon

For those of you who don't recognize it, it's the AppleMouse II, which Apple sold for use with the Apple IIc Plus and Apple IIe.

The shape was basically the same as the old Mac mouse for the Macintosh, Macintosh 512K, Macintosh 512K Enhanced, and Macintosh Plus, but there were a few differences:

  • The color scheme was platinum rather than beige+brown.
  • The button was flush with the rest of the mouse, and a little larger.
  • I don't think it worked with the Macs' mouse port. Also, I think the Macintosh SE had come out by this time, replacing the old mouse port with ADB.
