Douglas C. Engelbart, 1925-2013 Computer Visionary Who Invented the Mouse
"Early versions of the mouse had three buttons, because that was all the case could accommodate, even though Dr. Engelbart felt that as many as 10 buttons would be more useful. Two decades later, when Steve Jobs added the mouse to his Macintosh computer, he decided that a single button was appropriate. The Macintosh designers believed in radical simplicity, and Mr. Jobs argued that with a single button it was impossible to push the wrong one."
I agree with Dr. Engelbart I find it really annoying using a standard mouse and not having so many useful commands available to my mouse hand.
Chase, the bat retrieving retriever of the Trenton Thunder died Monday at Age 13 from lymphoma.

More proof that neither man nor his best friend was ever intended to retire in this lifetime.
No details of surviving family or burial plans were provided.

Son's Derby and Ollie continue the bat retrieving legacy. He was always a good reason to get to the game on time to see him in the first 2 innings.
