RevolutionLogitech, maker of many mice, has hailed as a major
landmark the production of their one billionth computer mouse,
which rolled off production lines late last month.  The first
mouse was created on December 9, 1968 when Douglas C. Engelbart
and his group of researchers at Stanford University put the
first mouse through its paces.  "It's rare in human history that
a billionth of anything has been shipped by one company," said
Logitech's general manager Rory Dooley in an article by the BBC.
"Look at any other industry and it has never happened. This is a
significant milestone."  But lately, the traditional mouse's
days seems numbered.
