Making the Macintosh: <http://library.stanford.edu/mac/index.html>
How does Apple do it? Visitors who ask themselves that question will certainly want to check out the online exhibit "Making the Macintosh: Technology and Culture in Silicon Valley" that draws heavily on the holdings of Stanford University Library's Department of Special Collections. The layout of the website is simple and well organized with "Archives" that include "Primary Documents", "Images" and "Interviews". The Interviews include designers of the Macintosh and the Lisa mouse, the designer of the Macintosh icons, and a member of an influential Macintosh users group, BMUG. The "Mouse" link under "Images" has several drawings of a mouse most consumers never saw, since initially computers were marketed to government, industry, and universities. The later images show a colorful ad for the Hawley X036X mouse, which has three buttons, from the Mouse House. The Mouse link also contains dozens of interviews, memos and reports of various key players in the development and the promotion of the mouse.
