A mouse from an Apple Lisa computer used by
late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs has been
recovered from a time capsule buried by
organizers of the 1983 Aspen International
Design Conference.

Jobs donated the mouse for the time capsule ?
called the "Aspen Time Tube" ? after using it to
give a presentation at the conference, according
to CNET. The event's organizers wanted to
reopen the 13-foot-long steel tube in 2000, but
its location was lost thanks to new landscaping in
the area where it was buried.
The capsule was rediscovered last September,
and a crew from the National Geographic
Channel show Diggers brought it to the surface.
Show co-host George Wyant told the publication
that the crew "went crazy" when they found the
tube.
"We just freaked out," Wyant said. "We went
crazy. Because I'd had a pit in my stomach all
day, so it was like instant relief."

Jobs's mouse ? alongside other items like a
Moody Blues tape and a Rubik's Cube ? was
well-preserved, having been ensconced in plastic
bags before the capsule's burial.
The capsule, mouse included, will be featured on
the season premier of Diggers on Feb. 25 at 10
p.m. Eastern time. |
