Apple co-founder Steve Jobs gave a talk in 1983 at the Aspen International Design Conference and then included a computer mouse in the Aspen Time Tube, which was buried in nearby field. As the years passed, the actual location of the time capsule was forgotten and was unable to be opened on its intended date in the year 2000. In 2013, a crew from National Geographic was able to locate it and unearthed it with much fanfare.

In addition to the mouse from the Lisa computer (a failed precursor to the Mac), was a Rubik's cube and an 8-track tape of the Moody Blues.
