It’s interesting to see what catches the attention of the computer media. I got back online yesterday to find the blogosphere humming with stories such as this one about the “OpenOffice Mouse” which Theo from WarMouse had unveiled officially at the OpenOffice.org Cento Milioni Conference last Wednesday.

I hope the product does well for Theo, but I would like to clear up one point of confusion. Contrary to recent press reports, this is not an OpenOffice.org Community product. The mouse will be produced by WarMouse, an independent company with no business relationship with the OpenOffice.org Community. The OpenOffice.org Community will continue to do what it does best – produce the world’s leading open-source personal productivity suite.

As Rabbie might well have said about WarMouse’s Press Release:

The best laid schemes o’ Mice an’ Men,
Gang aft agley.
