Wish I had a picture of the magnetic mouse I used in college at the graphics lab. Must've cost a mint! Not to mention the landscape plotter!
Hmmm, I've never heard of a magneting mouse.

What happens if you put a floppy disk near it?

You had to use it on a special tablet, Jack. I think it was actually the tablet that sensed the location of the mouse, but I don't really remember.

It was very accurate and fast for its day (25 years ago) *cough cough*

The Mac Mini is a killer deal, considering it comes with OSX and iLife. That's a huge chunk of very useful software.
