is a list of "Microsoft's Firsts", including:

   01/01/1983	Microsoft announces that Microsoft(R) Word for MS-DOS(R)
		1.0 is the first word processor to support the Mouse.

which I'm sure will come as one *fuck* of a surprise to the folks at Xerox
and Apple (unless "the Mouse" means "the Microsoft(R) Mouse(TM)")....

[Also a surprise to the folks at 3 Rivers and AT&T (makers of the Perq and the  
Blit/Jerq systems, respectively)... -psl]
