Information about the first computer?
First programmable computerThe Z1 originally created by Germany's Konrad Zuse in his parents living room in 1936 to 1938 is considered to be the first electrical binary programmable computer.The first digital computerShort for Atanasoff-Berry Computer, the ABC started being developed by Professor John Vincent Atanasoff and graduate student Cliff Berry in 1937 and continued to be developed until 1942 at the Iowa State College (now Iowa State University). On October 19, 1973, US Federal Judge Earl R. Larson signed his decision that the ENIAC patent by Eckert and Mauchly was invalid and named Atanasoff the inventor of the electronic digital computer. The ENIAC was invented by J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly at the University of Pennsylvania and began construction in 1943 and was not completed until 1946. It occupied about 1,800 square feet and used about 18,000 vacuum tubes, weighing almost 50 tons. Although the Judge ruled that the ABC computer was the first digital computer many still consider the ENIAC to be the first digital computer. Because of the Judge ruling and because the case was never appealed like most we consider the ABC to be the first digital computer. However, because the ABC was never fully functional we consider the first functional digital computer to be the ENIAC.The first stored program computerThe early British computer known as the EDSAC is considered to be the first stored program electronic computer.

The computer used the Intel 8008 processor and sold for $1,750 in 1973. The first workstationAlthough never sold the first workstation is considered to be the Xerox Alto, introduced in 1974. The computer was revolutionary for its time and included a fully functional computer, display, and mouse. The computer operated like many computers today utilizing windows, menus and icons as an interface to its operating system. The first laptop or portable computerThe first portable computer or laptop is considered to be the Osborne I, a portable computer developed by Adam Osborne that weighed 24 pounds, a 5-inch display, 64 KB of memory, two 5 1/4" floppy drives, and a modem.
Where does the computer mouse sleep?
One has to provide a suitable location for the poor little machine to rest and recharge, otherwise it will run away in search of another master to obey. I don't know about you, but my mouse sleeps in this nifty cup holder in my laptop desk. When considering a mouse habitat it is important to remember that the mouse will hibernate with it's tail still connected to the computer, so it is of primary importance to be careful not to disturb it by mashing the tail. Most computer mice will be happy and content with a clean mouse pad and some down time. If you take the time to properly aquaint your mouse to a new mouse pad, then it will behave properly. The mouse also needs to have regular air baths so that it does not become sluggish and unresponsive. A quick little shot with canned air or a hair dryer will cause the mouse to feel appreciated and loved. About every two months, one needs to actually wipe him down with a damp tissue so that his sleek fur won't be matted with your constant petting. A bit of alcohol or one of those disposable cleaning wipes will do the trick and, while the mouse isn't crazy about being damp, it will be much more comfortable for a careful wipe to his exterior. Just make sure to dust off his mouse pad every morning. The mouse isn't house trained, so that dust and grit is his night leavings. Clean up after your mouse regularly! Remember this important point. Do not vent your anger of slow internet connection / losses in online games / malfunctioning of computer on your poor mouse. Avoid banging the mouse on the desk as it may lead to fatal damages to its internal organs for which you might loose your lovable mouse for ever. That's it...give him a new mouse pad regularly, make sure that it's clean and dry, give him down time with his tail unkinked, and he will reward you with years of useful companionship. Oh...and a cup holder would be appreciated if you are lucky enough to get one.

Do you have to separately turn of the mouse and keyboard after shutdown on a mac?
You don't usually have to turn off the "mouse and keyboard" at all. On some models of the mac, the power button was on the keyboard, but pressing it starts the computer, it doesn't turn off the keyboard. If you have a wireless keyboard/mouse, then if you don't turn them off they're still running on battery power. The batteries won't last as long if you don't shut them off, but you don't HAVE to do it.
