  <p>Ah yes. My first mouse was a Microsoft mouse that used the bus ISA card. I think in the package it came with a copy of Paintbrush or something.</p>

  <p>Can't remember the scroll wheel working with Windows 3x, but that might be because I didn't have one. I had the second mouse you showed, wonder what I did with all this old stuff. The boxed games I used to have (a couple of Ultimas, RollerCoaster Tycoon). Developer software (Visual Interderv – v6 I think) and some CD-based MSDN documentation.</p><p><br></p><p>There was also a leaflet, CD I had that promoted Microsoft DNA. This would be late 90s and was obviously what they were aiming for pre the .net era. Wish I still had it as think it may have been useful for your "programming" series but, like all the above, it ended up in a dustbin somewhere, or, is up in the loft with the vinyl record collection!</p>
