feminista: Yeah it's hard to believe we got by without a mouse for so long since using a mouse now is so second nature to me.
I remember talking recently to a friend the other day about how it's tough for me to get used to Emacs or other Linux (non-mouse) text editors and I then I realized, hey I used to do that all the time. My Apple IIe didn't have a mouse and I was using it as my main word processing machine until the early 90's. Heck even when I did get eventually get a PC, I just always booted into DOS and hardly used Windows, because Windows at the time, 3.1, was so lame compared to Mac GUI's.
Anyway, many fond memories of Apple IIe. Even though I still have the original machine in my garage, I'm afraid to try and boot it up. I'd be too sad if it didn't work anymore. But hey thats why I can use emulators. =)
