The Microsoft Mouse

The year was 1983: Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart" topped the charts and compact discs made their debut. Also born was the Microsoft Mouse. For a mere $195, you got the mouse, Microsoft Word, and a few useless programs. Other 1983 highlights included the first juice box (Ocean Spray), Ray-Ban Wayfarers, and parachute pants.

Luckily we kept the mouse as a standard - and not the parachute pants.
