The Mice That Didn't Make It

Harry writes "For every blockbuster of the mouse world (such as Microsoft and Logitech's big sellers) there have been countless mice that flopped, or never made it to market.

I've rounded up some evocative patent drawings on twenty notable examples."

I'll stick with my blue M&M mouse . . .

Actually, the first dance move is "* nmp3bot dances :D\-<", with a backslash. It doesn't show up in the current version of bash.org because programming is hard.
