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 --Â called the "Aspen Time Tube" --Â after using it to give a presentation at the conference, 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 --Â alongside other items like a Moody Blues tape and a Rubik's Cube --Â was well-preserved, having been ensconced in plastic bags before the capsule's burial.
The capsule, mouse included, will be featured on the of Diggers on Feb. 25 at 10 p.m. Eastern time.
