Really? Thought everyone who's ever used an Amiga would know this colloquial term for the original boxy-style of Amiga mouse. :laughing:



Nah - here in Germany/Cologne it was not common to refer to it as "Panzer Maus" (German Translation of "tank mouse"). We used to call it "original Commodore A500 Maus" here...

But due to our dark history many here know Hitler's mad idea of the "Maus"-Panzer ("mouse" tank - see link in my previous posting) or the even more mad idea of its successor "Ratte" ("rat"-tank).

I was just amased by your colloquial term "tank mouse", as I initially thought for a moment you meant the tank "Maus"...
:laughing:
All the best,

regarding a Tank mouse term...

In my country it was commonly known as a tank mouse or a box mouse...

because of its totally "rounded" shape I suppose... :roflmao:
