Mac Mouse that last for 18 years!


“I was working on invoices on my Mac, ” she told me. “And my mouse just died.” Jo’s Mac is a Mac IIci. We’re talking a circa 1989 computer; We discussed the mouse’s problem. It was the clicker. It wasn’t clicking anymore. Not bad when you consider that she’s been clicking with it for 18 years. I think she got her money’s worth.

A Mac user get her computer mouse working after 18 years! That’s incredible as most of the mouse nowadays could hardly working after 2 years. I remember my previous Logitech mouse had used for 4 years and finally dead. After that, my mouse is getting shorter and shorter life span. They are because of the clicking not working or the optical malfunction.
 
I do agree that the owner really get her money worth. But I wonder the currently Apple mouse able to work for so long or not?

    I think the mouse lasted so long (18 years) because they made them a lot better back then. That thing was heavy and really solid — not like the junky stuff they make these days. Today, they build them to last a short time and then break. They’re cheap enough that we just go out and buy new ones — rather than complain about the poor quality!

    Anyway, thanks for the link back to my site!
