I have seen lots of first timers trying to navigate with the mouse on their first introduction including myself. I was taught how to play solitaire using the mouse and I guess it was because you had to right click and hold in order to move the cards on the screen. Trying to get the pointer on the screen to move where you want it to go was a challenge. Like everything else in life, once you try something for the first time its hard but persistence prevails. What was your experience like using a mouse for the first time?

I couldn't quite remember when was the very first time I used a mouse on a computer but I'm mighty sure it was a very long time ago. It was a really big relief getting a mouse in my hands because way back when, I got used to navigating without a mouse, when GUI operating systems like Windows were not so famous. I got a hand in using a trackball too, which I kind of find a bit more difficult to master than the mouse but it seems to make you less tired because it's fixed. What can I say, the mouse really is a great innovation.

Yes, but not very clearly. I think I have used mouse for the first time in a cafe-internet cafe where I went with a friend and he taught me how to use the computer especially the internet part and then soon we bought s computer and know much as compared to the other people here.

I was just talking about this this afternoon with my significant other. I was taking a training class and use of a mouse was part of a class. It was in 1995 just 14 years ago. Or it may have been 94 either way, it was hard to get the hang of using that pesky thing. i use a laptop now, which was hard to get the hang of initially too.

Interesting question! I started my computer life with DOS without GUI. Using mouse was definitely an interesting and amazing experience, but I have to admit that I don't remember the event at all. It was probably at the same time when I first lay my hands on Windows 3.0/3.1. I really wonder how could this landmark event erased from my memory sadsad
