"You know, there was a time when the Soviet Union produced some of the greatest technology on Earth. Only problem was that was around 1957 -- and the USSR took another 30+ years to die a slow, painful death. Sometime during the Gorbachev era, scientists discovered \"personal computers,\" and thus began a long tradition of making high-quality computer mice. In fact, the Russians were so good at making mice that they decided to write the word \"mouse\" on them in Cyrillic and include a little picture so that people wouldn't forget what it was. Perhaps there's a market for this type of antique obsolete computer hardware? Or maybe Logitech's next mouse will be inspired by this classic showing of Russian functionality -- surely that would be better than its sleek designs of today.[Via digg]"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
