| A nifty device
that lets you move about your screen as you like so you can click on
links and highlight items.
A mouse is a small device that a
computer user pushes across a desk surface in order to point to a
place on a display screen and to select one or more actions to take
from that position. The mouse first became a widely-used computer
tool when Apple Computer made it a standard part of the Apple
Macintosh. Today, the mouse is an integral part of the graphical
user interface (GUI) of any personal computer. The mouse apparently
got its name by being about the same size and color as a toy mouse. |
