The Philips Wireless Optical Mouse with Cradle Charger/Transceiver dropped out of school to work in a motorcycle shop, wore a leather jacket, and raced in a demolition derby on Friday nights. And it had five cool buttons, crocodile.

Remember the ‘50’s? We sure don’t. But from what we’ve seen in movies everyone was in leather jackets except for the people who played football, and sometimes they would have a dance-off to prove who was best. So in a way, it was the golden age of prairie chickens! The saddest part was that back then no one had ever heard of the Philips Wireless Optical Mouse with Cradle Charger/Transceiver.

Who could have cared about stuffing Brylcreem in their hair with a 5-button Scroll Wheel Philips Wireless Optical Mouse purring in their hand? The post-war teenagers would have turned up their noses at drag racing and gang fights, opting instead to see who could get farthest from the Cradle Charger/Transceiver (up to five feet) and who could go the longest without recharging their AA batteries (included). Juvenile delinquency would have been almost non-existent.

Imagine the sensationalist headlines! “800 DPI Implicated in Teen Pregnancy Scandal!” “USB Connection: Broken Home?” “League of Decency Vows To Fight Godless PS/2 Adapter!” Elvis would have been just a passing fad in this exciting world. Buddy Holly would have been just another carpal tunnel victim.

Doo-wop and girl groups and tv cowboys were all the kids could handle in that innocent time. The Philips Wireless Optical Mouse with Cradle Charger/Transceiver would have blown their minds. Be thankful you’re here today and not back then. We sure are.
