LOL I think though BB2 should be under events as its a release, and was born sometime ago. Cool bit of history facts though. Love it!!!!!! and also your involvement in the forums. Keep it up.
Hmm, computer mouse - This is very interesting, just read this on Wikipedia that this device is actually much older than we thought (or at least I thought). First trackpads are from the late 40s and mouse 60s... Fascinating! (Worth reading while waiting for BB2 Release Announcement https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_mouse
You know what!?! I forgot a big event for me personally... so busy with life it happens, but the 27th is my sobriety date... 23 months today...
