The mouse stays the same size, but the computers themselves have shrunk dramatically over the years. Maybe when he turns 90 he'll ship-in-a-bottle build a computer inside his favourite mouse?
Ha wouldn't be shocked. Apparently some mice already have ARM processors inside, why not take it a bit further.
Or they may never have thought about running on a different device. Why should I do the work to do it?
This was not done with the idea of portability, maintainability, or even good engineering practice.
