You are mistaken. Mice have been around since the late 1960s, and computers such as the
Xerox Alto used both a mouse and a graphical user interface. The Alto influenced both the Macintosh and early Sun workstations.
The first commercially-sold computer to use a mouse and a GUI was the
Xerox Star, released in 1981, three years earlier than the first Mac.
