So, first of all, we made the screen layout resemble a desktop,
displaying pictures of objects you’ll have no trouble recognizing.
File folders.
Clipboards.
Even a trash can.
Then
we developed a natural way for you to pick up,
hold,
and move these objects around.
We put a pointer on the screen, and attached the pointer to
a small, rolling box called a “mouse”.
The mouse fits in your
hand,
and as you move the mouse
around your desktop, you
move the pointer on your screen.
To tell a MacIntosh Personal Computer what you want
what you want ?
what you want ?
to do, you simply move the mouse until you’re pointing to the
object or function you want.
Then click the button on top of the mouse,
Then click the button on top of the mouse,
Then click the button on top of the mouse,
Then click the button on top of the mouse,
and you instantly begin working with that object.
Open a file folder. Review the papers inside. Read a memo.
Use a calculator. And so on.
