BACK when Cockney Rebel had their greatest hit, Come Up And See Me, a computer took up an entire room and a mouse was a small whiskery rodent, nothing more.

But today we are conversant with Windows you cannot see through, RAMs that do not bleat and a mouse that lives on every office desk. And the former Cockney Rebel, John Crocker, is at the cutting edge of computers.

His invention takes the pain from mouse manoeuvres.

We are delighted that the MouseBean Hand Rest is proving to be one of his greatest hits.
