Editing Mouse Systems (section)

==History==
Mouse Systems' optical mouse, wired to a [[Sun Microsystems|Sun]] [[workstation]] and an [[Atari 400]] running ''[[Missile Command]]'', attracted many observers at the October, 1982 Mini/Micro '82 conference in [[Anaheim, California]], attended by over {{val|10000}} people—and won a "best new product" award.<ref name="Mace_19821011"/>

In 1984, MSC acquired rights to Mouse Draw from Microtex Industries, written by Doug Wolfgram. Mouse Systems wanted the software re-developed to look more like [[Apple Inc.|Apple]]'s [[MacPaint]] so Wolfgram brought in co-developer [[John Bridges (software developer)|John Bridges]] and together they re-wrote the program in C with an updated user interface and called it [[PCPaint]]. Millions of copies were shipped, primarily bundled with all their mice until 1987.

[[KYE Systems]], producer of the [[Genius mouse|Genius]] brand of mice, acquired Mouse Systems in 1990.
