One button, two buttons, three buttons, ten million buttons. Beige, black, white, red with polka dots. Glow-in-the-dark, see through. Right-handed, left-handed, both. Vertical for RSI patients, trackballs for weirdoes like myself, Apple's puck mouse for sado-masochists. The ubiquitous mouse comes in all possible shapes, forms, sizes, and colours, but according to our friend The Analyst, the glorious age of the mouse is coming to and end. Do we believe The Analyst?

I could see the mouse going away as a device. and the OS Will need a new interface to take advantage of it. Just as the mouse was originally just a toy and for drawing and CAD applications. Multi-touch is at that state right now. Where it is more of a toy then useful. However in time I could see the OS Changing to take advantage of the features, then in time we would wonder how we got along without it. Like operating a GUI with a keyboard alone.
