September 8, 1989 For Immediate Release THE MOUSE LOSES ITS TAIL! Tucson, AZ. Practical Solutions, Inc announces The Cordless Mouse, a new innovation in input control. Compatible with all Amiga computers, The Cordless Mouse utilizes the latest in infra-red signal transmission technology to give all mouse users long-awaited freedom. It can be operated from up to five feet away from its base receiver, eliminating those old cable tangles, while providing faster and smoother mouse movement. According to company president Mark Sloatman, this new mouse will advance the state-of-the-art for all input devices. The Cordless Mouse features a sleek, lightweight, contoured design of the new three button variety, allowing easy use for both right and left handed operators. Using an 8 bit, 12 MHz CMOS CPU, The Cordless Mouse provides a high resolution of over 200 cpi and a tracking speed of up to 600 mm/sec. This makes it twice as fast as the Amiga mouse, taking up less than half the rolling room normally required on your mouse pad. The Cordless Mouse also has an automatic shutoff to extend battery life (two "AAA" batteries required). No special gridplate or mousepad is necessary. The Cordless Mouse is scheduled for release in November with a suggested retail of only $129.95. It comes with a one year limited warranty and unlimited technical support. Early response indicates an overwhelming demand, especially for those that use their Amiga every day. Sloatman says "Once you've used our mouse you'll never want to use any other. It's the fastest, smoothest mouse available today." For futher information please contact: Practical Solutions 1135 N.
